Ok I have A1 as test, A2:9 as blah, A10 as test and A11:A20 as blah
so it looks like this

test
blah
blah
blah
blah
blah
blah
blah
blah
blah
test
blah
blah
blah
blah
blah
blah
blah
blah
blah
blah

What I want to do is make A1 so that IF(A1=???Any of cells A2:20???,
then it becomes the same format as A1
is that possible?

You'd need a macro. A formula can only return a result to the cell it is
in; it cannot do things like format cells, print, etc.

You might look at Format, conditional Formatting as another approach though.
