Default linking values and formats on from different sheets

No problem...

Let me break it down a little more... The first thing I'm trying to do is
carry over the formating from lets say sheet 1 cell A1 onto sheet 2 A1 so
that if the cells color or shading is changed on sheet 1, that automatically
carries over to sheet 2.

Once this is accomplished, I'm planning on either filtering or sorting the
data on sheet 2 to support a different type of report...

The key is that the same data on both sheets needs to be formated that same
regardless which sheet I'm looking at. They may be contained within
different rows depending on if you look at sheet 1 or 2 but the overall
format assocated with the data structure needs to hold.

Does this help....

Hi Rick,

Need some confirmation of about your requirement re breaking the links.

Assume that if Sheet1 cell A3 is linked to Sheet2 cell A3.

You sort Sheet2 and the contents of cell A3 finishes up in cell A7.

Which cell do you now want linked to Sheet1? (A3 or A7)

I have a set of data (and cell formating) on sheet A that I'd like to copy
over onto sheet B. The trick is that I'd like to ultimately sort sheet B
differently than A.

Could anyone tell me if it's possible to link not only data between sheets
but also formats and how I'd accomplish this?

Assuming success, can the rows be resorted without breaking the links to
sheet A?

Thanks....
