    Question Conditional formatting not being applied to all drop-down lists

    Hi.

    I hope this is a fairly simple question to answer...

    Updated question: How do I apply conditional formatting to an entire workbook?

    Original question: I have an Excel 2010 workbook with multiple sheets and on each sheet there are multiple cells that use:-

    Data Validation > List > Source ='Drop-down lists'!$A$3:$A$7

    I've created conditional formatting to change the format of the cell depending on which item from the drop-down is selected. This is working fine but only on the one cell that was selected when I created the formatting.

    The formatting rule is as follows:-

    Format only cells that contain > Cell value > Equal to > ='Drop-down lists'!$A$5

    How do I make all of the cells that are using 'Drop-down lists'!$A$5 in the workbook apply the same formatting?

    I've attached the workbook to this post

    Thanks.
