if you have already conditionally formatted some cell or cells then if you
just copy and paste into another sheet is not the conditional fomat
carried to the second sheet.

try.
if you dont want the values to be pasted then copy pastespecial formats

I created spreedsheet where number cell useing conditonal formating will
change color if a less than condition takes place. What I need to know is
how
do I once that conditional formating takes place (color change) do I send
this infor to a new spread sheet only if the condtion is met and to a
thrid
spreedsheet within the same workbook that has a condition for dates i.e.
like
expiration date.

My condition on the cell is that if the number entered is less than 2 (for
instance) the number in the cell will turn red and be bold. if this happen
(it turns red) I would like for it to then be sent to second spreadsheet
as a
red bolded number two. I am trying to build a shopping list for my wife so
as
she updates it (inventory list) with actual on hand numbers. If a number
for
instance cans of soups fall to a present number like 2 ea then it will
turn
red and send this information to a second spreadsheet to build an actual
shopping list. Then I would like to also set up the original list
(inventory
list) so not only will i attached the conditionl formating toi turn red
and
bold if it drops to this number, but also to date stamp the entry and
condition formate it to feed a thrid sheet for expiration dates for
instasnce
if the original inventory entry is a given date then 180 days it will
automatically populate a third spreasheet to say throw it away. thank you
for
you efforts
