I think I may be asking the impossible here but here we go!

I am trying to make conditional formatting across multiple sheets.

Tabs: TIMETABLE 1, TIMETABLE 2, TIMETABLE 3

If B10 in TIMETABLE 1 (tab 1) is used in B10 in another tab (TIMETABLE 2 or TIMETABLE 3) , highlight both cells red.

Is this possible?!

Thanks

Laura.

One more question which I did not think about, is there a way for it not to highlight the cell red if the value is blank? it is ok for the cells to be blank but we need to see if a value is repeated if that makes sense.

So, IF B10 is blank in TIMETABLE1 and B10 is blank in TIMETABLE2 it will not highlight red?

Thank you
