Google Sheets, Invalid Formula: Need fix for Conditional Formatting?

Question

When I paste =and(V26<0,Settings!C14=TRUE) in a cell, it evaluates correctly, to TRUE.

When I enter the same formula in Custom Formula I get an error as shown.

How can I correct this please?

Answer 1

It seems that Indirect is a way to go

=and(V26<0,INDIRECT("Settings!C14")=TRUE)

works
