Copy format of cell from other worksheet
When you tell a cell to display the contents of a cell from another worksheet
(eg. if in a cell from Sheet2 I put the formula ='Sheet1'!A1), how do you also get it to use the formatting of that cell? Thanks in advance for looking! |

Formulas don't return this kind of formatting. They return values.
You could copy|paste or have a macro do it. sirjibby wrote: When you tell a cell to display the contents of a cell from another worksheet (eg. if in a cell from Sheet2 I put the formula ='Sheet1'!A1), how do you also get it to use the formatting of that cell?

Ok thanks for letting me know. Could you possibly explain quickly how I would
get a macro to do that? "Dave Peterson" wrote: Formulas don't return this kind of formatting. They return values.

Copy format of cell from other worksheet
On top of what Gord suggested, you could have an event macro that runs that does
the copy|Paste. But you'd have to share how the "sending" cell changed--is it because the user typed something, or is it because the formula got reevaluated? And if you're sharing this, share the details of what cells are sending cells and what cells are the corresponding receiving cells. sirjibby wrote: Ok thanks for letting me know.
