Description Cor Nouws 2016-01-21 14:51:01 UTC 
Hi, 

I'll attach a test file.
Somehow, conditional formatting in AQ57 became wrong.
(Format > Conditional formatting > Manage..)
It now shows "Cell value is =>cliënten.u#ref!"

On opening the file, one gets the question to update the link.
'Removing' the link with Edit > Links doesn't help. On next opening, the problem occurs again.

Tested in master recent and 3.3.0

Hi Cor the wrong reference is in the file.

Looking at the content.xml in file.

1842 <style:map style:base-cell-address="cliënten.AQ57" style:apply-style-name="naamloos2" style:condition="cell-content()>=cliënten.u#ref!"/>

Seems an error writing the address in the CF condition. Other conditions are cliënten.Unn

Still the same in Version: 6.0.0.0.alpha0+

But obviously a strange broken file and exceptional situation

Hi Cor

When opening the manage name's box you will see two !REF errors.
Deleting them will help, and also in conditional formatting.
It fix the problem.

Thanks Xavier - deleting the bad reference in named ranges and in conditional formatting and then removing the Link, indeed solves the issue.

The question remains if the (error) message given is adequate.
