Default Mirroring cells


I'm trying to duplicate cells exactly from one sheet to the next. I'm
using IF commands to get the data entered in a cell in one sheet to
show up in the next, but is there anyway to also mirror the format,
i.e. bolded text, highlights, etc.?

Thanks in advance!

Use Copy / Paste. It will copy both the cell's contents and its format.

One way is to right click the tab name at the bottom of the screen, and
in the window that pops up choose Move or Copy. In the next window
check the Create a Copy box and press OK. This makes an exact
duplicate of the sheet with all formats, headers, footers, etc. From
there you can delete all the information that came with the original
sheet, and apply your formulas.

Thanks, but I'm actually trying to create a template that will allow me
to enter data in a master sheet, which will be mirrored in all
subsequent sheets. Since I want the data to be duplicated over ten
sheets, I don't want to copy and paste it individually. So far, I'm
only able to copy the data, but the cell format is set by each
individual cell. Is there a way to set the cells to "follow" the
format of a cell in the master sheet, regardless of what kind of
changes I make?

The short answer is No, not possible via cell formulation. It may be
possible using VBA code, but would be lengthy and complex.

Sorry.

I was afraid of that.

Thanks anyway!
