I have a problem with pivot tables, when a new job comes in I enter the
details on a "data" sheet in Excel, depending on the cliet and type of job, I
choose a background colour for the cells containing the data, the data
carries through to a number of pivot tables on successive sheets in the same
workbook. When I save the spreadsheet, the data itself carries through to the
various pivot tables, but the background colour formatting does not, I have
to manually go through four sheets of pivot tables, find every occurence of
the job and add the background colour formatting. Is there a way to carry the
background cell colours through automatically from my "Data" sheet?

The short answer is no...
