This is how most named ranges use to work. =Price*Count automatically fetches this row's values from the referenced vectors. The same uses to work horizontally as well fetching from same column of a parallel horizontal vector. This is not implemented for the conditional formatting. May affect Excel compatibility. Cell validation can do the trick.

Constraint would be, that you always refer to a whole column or row. (2) Do not use cell value but formula and write for example Price*CountD1 as comparison, where D1 will change with copypaste. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

+ 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.
