colour and value transfer
 

pastespecial xlAllValues pastes both format and value
you could just paste special the format to leave the
values unchanged but to render the format.

Dim x As Range
x.PasteSpecial xlPasteAll
x.PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats

Thanks for the response to my last posting. This one I
hope is even simpler. How can I cut and paste the
colour
formatting of a cell and its value? The value is
generated by a formula so normal cut and paste doesn't
work and a paste special value transfer removes the
colour. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Bob

I think Patrick meant you should paste values, then paste formats

Dim x As Range
x.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
x.PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats

There is no xlAllValues and xlPasteAll is the same as a normal copy and
paste

XlPasteType constants: xlPasteAll, xlPasteFormulas, xlPasteValues,
xlPasteFormats, xlPasteNotes, or xlPasteAllExceptBorders.
