Yes, a formula cannot affect a format - it can only return a value.
So, if you manually change a format in one cell, this can not be
picked up via a formula in another cell. It is possible to do it with
some VBA code, but not with native functions or UDFs (User-defined
functions).

Hope this helps.

Just <copy A1 from worksheet A to A1 in worksheet B (to copy the
formatting, even if it is conditional formatting), and then enter:

='worksheet A'!A1

in A1 of worksheet B

Hope this helps.
