Reference a different tab in conditional formatting
Hi.  In the new Google Sheets, is anyone able to reference a cell in a different tab when doing conditional formatting?  This is what I want to do:

Custom formula:  =D3>AnotherTab!$A$1
Format:  Make the background green
Range:  D3:D6

However, I get an "Invalid Formula" error whenever I try to reference a different tab.
