Copy/ Paste (or paste special/ format).
A formula won't pick up the format of another cell.

Maybe this will help you
Click in cell A3 and type =A2
this means that what ever is populated in cell A3 will auto maticaly
populate in cell A3
Then also you can conditional format the cell to change to certain colours.

Hi mates,

Thank You very much for the prompt reply..

I tried conditional formatting but the problem i face is that Cell-A3 must
respond to a change in the format of Cell-A2 .. i don't know the formula..
Advise welcome..

Not formula, but VBA.
