copy cell and formating
If you *copy* a cell, you will copy the format as well as the content
(unless you paste special to restrict which aspects you want to copy). If you *link* to a cell, you don't pick up the format of the source cell. -- David Biddulph Eric wrote: I am copying information from on sheet to another in the same workbook.

so what is the difference between linking and copying. What would this look
like in a formula? I am currently using the +cell location.

By +page1!B2 you presumably mean =page1!B2 ?
Perhaps you've forgotten that Excel starts formulae with an = sign? The + sign at the start of the formula sounds like a relic from a Lotus spreadsheet application. To *copy* the cell, go to page1 cell B2, select the cell, Control C (or Copy), go back to your destination cell on page 2, Control V (or Paste). That will paste the 3, and its format, into the destination cell. -- David Biddulph Eric wrote: so what is the difference between linking and copying. What would this look like in a formula?
