------- Additional comments from ville...@openoffice.org Wed May 20 13:33:42 +0000 2009 ------- Thank you for testing this and providing 2 valid work-arounds. Yes, named references do work in cond. formatting as well as in cell validation. Both features take formulas without leading "=" with quoted strings, unquoted addresses, numbers and names. Commonly used example: cell_value > MAX(other_range) Your work-around with the "formula operator" does work. 'Labels' can do the trick using both methods, formula=('Price'*'Count')>$D2 as well as cell_value > 'Price'*'Count'. The user who initiated the forum thread stumbled upon the fact that the latter approach fails with named references. cell_value > Price*Count fails whereas formula = (Price*Count)>$D2 works as expected, so there is a bug indeed. Without having tried, I'd think that Excel would handle this as expected. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
