Shade differences in excel file
I received an excel file that has a light grey shading. But when I
copy and paste the format to an excel file that I created, the shading comes out light yellow. I ran some code to tell me what the Interior.ColorIndex is and it returned 19 for both the grey cell and the light yellow cell. What's causing the difference? Is is simply a difference in excel versions? I am working from Excel 2003 (the person I received the file from is unavailable so I don't know what version they are using) |

This explains the different colours, but same colour index. If you want the pasted data to have the same colouring, the easiest way is probably to go 'Tools' - 'Options' - 'Colour' while the new workbook is active, and use the 'Copy colors from' option. (This is assuming Excel 2003 or lower, can't remember where the option has been moved to in 2007). Cheers, |
