Default auto copy cell format

Can you use Conditional Formatting on source cell C3 to show pink?

Then use same CF on G24

Hello,

I have a complex spreadsheet in which I use cell formatting (shading) to
illustrate where one cell value is being copied elsewhere in the same sheet.
So for example I have a value 2.34 in cell C3 which is shaded pink, and
another cell G24 also 2.34 also shaded pink. It is helpful for display
purposes.

I can set G24 to 2.34 just by setting the cell '=C3'. But can I set it to
pink in a similar way?

I have Excell 2007.

I know how to copy a cell format using the format painter, no problem. But I
have several cell connections of this sort and an automated way of doing it
would be nice.

Thanks
