cell colour
In a workbook i use i have a cell that has the following formula so it stays
the same value as another cell e.g. =sheet2!$B$1 No problem. But what formula can i use so that the cell has the same value and colour?, if i change the colour of the cell B2 i want the colour to automatically change in the other cell. Thanks |

A formula can only change the VALUE that is displayed; it cannot change the
format. You would need some VBA code to do that. best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "jackrobyn1" wrote in message ...

Formulas can't return this kind of formatting. Formulas return values.

cell colour
You cannot link color or other formatting, only values

Use conditional formatting to set the cell color, and use the same
expression in both cells. jackrobyn1 wrote: In a workbook i use i have a cell that has the following formula so it stays the same value as another cell e.g. =sheet2!$B$1 No problem.
