    My CF is not working on my colleagues PC

    Good day, I created a spreadsheet with many CF's and save the sheet on our network, however, when my manager tries opening it the CF's do not work. they are there when I click on CF > Manage Rules, they just not working, neither is the Data Validation Drop Downs? Why is this happening and how do I fix it?

    Whether your manager excel version differs from yours?

    Can you please provide a screenshot if possible?

    In 2010 CF you can use refernces to other worksheet directly but prior versions like 2007 requires a named range to contact the other worksheets.

    Please confirm whether your CF is referenced to other worksheets?

    Yes, most of them refer to a cell in another sheet - is that the problem?

    Exactly... In 2010 it is a new feature but in 2007 you have to pass it to a named range

    Is the address of the sheets you reference the same on your manager's machine as yours?

    I.e. is the address 'Z:\Folder1\Folder2\File.xls' on your machine but 'Y:\ . . .' on his? If so, try using Universal Naming Convention (i.e. the actual name that Z or Y represents) instead.

    You can check it in your manager 2007 excel, try to reference another sheet in CF excel will not allow you to select another sheet in 2007 version of excel
