Google Spreadsheets: Conditional formating based on text in another sheet - regex

I'm trying to make a conditional formatting statement based on if a cell is filled with text on another sheet.
For example:
Sheet1 needs to change color of the cell A1 to blue if Sheet2 has text in cell A1
I used a couple of techniques as suggested in other stackoverflow questions, such as:
Conditional Formatting from another sheet (I cant find out how to do some sort of regexmatch in this statement)
I thought of some sort of line as (as a custom formula in conditional formatting):
A1(REGEXMATCH(INDIRECT(Sheet2!A1), ""),1 ,0))
but that doesnt work.
Hope someone can help me with this!

try:
=A1=NOT(ISBLANK(INDIRECT("Sheet2!A1")))

Using data from another sheet in a formula with sheet name in formula

I'm writing a finance spreadsheet with google sheets and it works fine, except that I have to manually rewrite every entry in the formula to use the correct sheet. Is there a way to insert a variable in the following formula to make it read the sheet name from another cell?
=abs(SUMIFS('Feb21'!$I:$I;'Feb21'!$L:$L;D$2))
In the above formula, Feb21 is the sheet name that I'd like to be referenced by another cell.
I already tried indirect, but it just tells me that there's an error in the formula.
try INDIRECT:
=ABS(SUMIFS(INDIRECT(A1&"!I:I"); INDIRECT(A1&"!L:L"); D$2))

Countblank and ImportRange for Conditional Formatting Custom Function

So I am trying to set up a conditional formatting custom function that will highlight the cell in question if a certain range on another spreadsheet contains any blank cells up to the last row of that spreadsheet. Can I write this as a formula for conditional formatting? Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
I tried:
=IF(COUNTBLANK(IMPORTRANGE(Index!$C9,"report.csv!E:F")))>0
when referencing another sheet in conditional formatting you need to use INDIRECT()
try:
=IF(COUNTBLANK(IMPORTRANGE(INDIRECT("Index!$C9"), "report.csv!E:F"))>0, 1)

Attempting to use an IF VLOOKUP in a conditional formatting formula and getting invalid formula

I've got a list of data validated options that pull from another sheet in the spreadsheet (e.g. a list of options on a hidden sheet to make the drop down menu nice and neat) and I want to conditionally uncover checkboxes for options on the list that need them, but the conditional formatting doesn't like my IF VLOOKUP to uncover the square.
Right now I have it so the square is by default background colored black with the 'text' in the box black too, so the checkboxes are hidden. If you select an option with a checkbox needed, I want the formatting to clear (white background, normal text) so you see the checkbox as intended.
I've tried a few google searches but nothing seemed to clear it up for me.
=IFERROR(IF(VLOOKUP(A42,'Mastery Data
Table'!$A$25:$D$156,3,FALSE)=1,TRUE,FALSE),FALSE)
I'm using IFERROR because some options have no data in column 3 at all.
when referencing another sheet in CF you need to wrap it into INDIRECT:
=IFERROR(IF(VLOOKUP(A42,
INDIRECT("'Mastery Data Table'!$A$25:$D$156"), 3, 0)=1, TRUE, FALSE), FALSE)

How Compare two sheet in open office and mark different value with color

In first sheet original data and in second modify data so i want to compare both sheet data and mark with color if sheet1 and sheet2 data not match.
I have two different sheet with data as per below.
Sheet1:
--------A-----B-----C
1-------T10---T10---T40
2-------T34---T65---T20
Sheet2:
--------A-----B-----C
1-------Z10---T10---T40
2-------T34---T65---T20
ABC is represent the columns.
1-2 is represent row.
I can write the conditional format on single cell to check if Sheet1.A1 <> Sheet2.A1 and change the background colour.
conditional formatting : "Cell Value is" "equal to" $Sheet1.A$1 Cell Style "BACK_COLOR_RED".
But the problem is that how can i apply this same conditional format on sheet all cell to compare both sheet as manually write the same formula
on one by one cell is not feasible.
I got the answer, I hope below answer will also help to other people to run time compare two sheet.

As far as I searched I couldn't find any option to eliminate duplicate values. But we can count the null and duplicate values.Also we can perform joins,avg,sum,min,max on a google table chart's column values.
This documentation explains about this. Hope this will help you.
