How do you carry over the formatting of your list onto a pivot table?

If you add number fields to the Row, Column or Report Filter area, they
should keep the formatting from the source data.

If you put the number fields in the Values area they'll have the General
format. You can change the formatting after you add the fields to the
pivot table.

I guess I wasn't as clear on my first question. How can I carryover the same
font color or cell shading from my list?

Thank you :-)

You can't carry the font or cell colour from the source data to the
pivot table. Perhaps you could add it manually, or record a macro an run
that when needed.
