If the source fill color is due to Conditional Formatting, replacate that CF
in the target cell. Otherwise...........linked formulas, as all formulas, return values only, not formatting. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Wed, 27 Aug 2008 13:28:05 -0700, Billmc0714 wrote: How i get the fill color of a cell on page 2 when its linked to a cell on page 1 |

Copying fill color
I dont think i was very clear in my question so I will try again On page 1 I
have cell 1 a with a value and a cell color and I want to change both the cell value and the cell cover I know if I use Conditional Formating the value will change on page 2 but i can not get the cell color to change on page 2 without manually changing it the condtional formating does not change the cell color on page when I change it on page 1 -- Bill McClelland "Gord Dibben" wrote: If the source fill color is due to Conditional Formatting, replacate that CF in the target cell.

I thought your first post was clear.
You want to link a cell on sheet2 to a value in a colored cell on sheet1. You want to also link the formatting of sheet1 cell. Cannot be done without CF for value on both cells. I don't know what you're trying for CF but if sheet1 CF is something like Cell value = <123 use the same CF on sheet2 Gord On Thu, 28 Aug 2008 07:06:01 -0700, Billmc0714 wrote: I dont think i was very clear in my question so I will try again On page 1 I have cell 1 a with a value and a cell color and I want to change both the cell value and the cell cover I know if I use Conditional Formating the value will change on page 2 but i can not get the cell color to change on page 2 without manually changing it the condtional formating does not change the cell color on page when I change it on page 1 |

Excel gives me an error message and i quote "You can not refernce another

Why are you trying to reference sheet1 cell on sheet2 in CF?
The link is already there, just give sheet2 cell same CF as sheet1 cell. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Thu, 28 Aug 2008 07:48:00 -0700, Billmc0714 wrote: Excel gives me an error message and i quote "You can not refernce another work page or work shett when using Conditional Formating" |

So The real answer is you can not make the cell fill color change on sheet
two if its linked to to sheet one only the values change -- Bill McClelland "Gord Dibben" wrote: Why are you trying to reference sheet1 cell on sheet2 in CF?

I have tried all that you suggested but none of it works I just wanted a way
so that the cell fill color change on sheet 2 when I changed it on sheet 1 -- Bill McClelland "Billmc0714" wrote: So The real answer is you can not make the cell fill color change on sheet two if its linked to to sheet one only the values change -- Bill McClelland "Gord Dibben" wrote: Why are you trying to reference sheet1 cell on sheet2 in CF?

Copying fill color
Start with A1 on sheet1
Enter a number like 3 FormatCFCell value is: between 1 and 10 Format to yellow. Go to A1 on sheet2 and enter =sheet1!A1 FormatCFCell value is: between 1 and 10 Format to yellow. Go to sheet1 and change A1 number to 12 Color goes away on both cells. Change sheet1 A1 to 6 and color comes back to both cells. There is no other way to change the fill color on sheet2 without the CF or VBA. Color change is not a trappable event so even with VBA it would be difficult AFAIK and probably require Case statements based on colorindex number of source cell. As I said earlier..........you cannot link colors in any straightforward manner.

Easier method to creating a link and formatting.
After setting CF on sheet1 A1 Copy that cell and select A1 on sheet2 Paste specialpaste linkOKEsc Paste SpecialFormatsOKEsc Gord On Thu, 28 Aug 2008 13:05:11 -0700, Gord Dibben <gorddibbATshawDOTca wrote: Start with A1 on sheet1 Enter a number like 3 FormatCFCell value is: between 1 and 10 Format to yellow.
