Copy Across Formatting aswell using "=[Cell Ref]" ?
Hi,
I'm using the old straightforward " = B5" to copy across text from B5 into my new cell. No problems there, but I want whatever text formatting is in B5 to copy across aswell. Changing the format of my new cell is not an option because it's locked for the user. Any ideas? Thanks.... |

Formulas return values--not formats like this.

You can copy just the format by copying the source cell and then
doing Edit/Paste Special/Formats on the target. If the source format might change and you want the target always to reflect it, you can use the Camera Tool, aka Paste Picture Link See http://j-walk.com/ss/excel/odd/odd04.htm for details. hth Andrew On 24 Oct, 11:52, dim wrote: Thanks Dave, So how can I get the formatting to copy across aswell?

Thanks Andrew,
That looks like it will work a treat. I guess I just learned another new thing about MS Excel. :D Bye for now.
