Copy basic format from one cell to another
 

Is there a way to copy the basic cell format from one cell to another without
copying the conditional format with it?

Copy basic format from one cell to another
 

Just remove them after the paste:

Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
' Macro recorded 6/4/2009 by James Ravenswood
'

'
Range("A1").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("A2").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats
Selection.FormatConditions.Delete
End Sub

Copy basic format from one cell to another
 

Thanks for your response. However, I didn't ask that question quite right.
What I really was trying to ask was, is there a way of copying a basic cell
format to another cell without overwriting the conditional format in the
destination cell?

If you know what basic cell formats you want you can just apply them:

dim fCell as range
dim tCell as range

set fcell = worksheets("Sheet1").range("a1")
set tcell = worksheets("sheet99").range("x99")

with tcell
.numberformat = fcell.numberformat
'add as many formatting characteristics as you want.
end with

Copy basic format from one cell to another
 

Understand, but what if one is trying to copy a range of cells with varying
formats (interior colors). Can it be done without using a slow for-next loop?

I tried

worksheets("Sheet1").range("A1:B99").interior.colo rindex=worksheets("sheet99").range("A1:B99").inter ior.colorindex

but this apparently does not work.

Copy basic format from one cell to another
 

If the colors vary between cells, you'll need to loop. If you know your
workbook, maybe you can group areas by color????

And if the colors vary between characters in the cell, then you'll be looping
through each cell and then looping between characters within each cell. (It can
be very slow if you have lots of colors/formats to preserve.)
