can i link cells colour wise?
 

is it possible to link two cells having same value colour wise i.e. if both
of them are having name john is it possible to link them in such a way that
when i change one cell's colour the other one changes itself automatically?

can i link cells colour wise?
 

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.

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
