Default can i link cells colour wise?


Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and automatic to use:

1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the Excel window
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window

If you have any concerns, first try it on a trial worksheet.

If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.


To remove the macro:

1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window

To learn more about macros in general, see:

Try this worksheet event macro:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
Range("A1").Copy
Range("B9").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats
Target.Select
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

It links the formatting of B9 to A1. Whenever you change the format of A1,
the format of B9 will automatically change to follow it.
