How can I return the format & value of cell with VLOOKUP ?
I am using VLOOKUP to retrieve values from several different worksheets. I
also wish to retreive the cell's format (color). There are many different colors on the worsheets based on many complex criteria. Is there anyway the individual formats of the cells retrieved can also be returned with the values ? Thanks, Rick |

you could use MATCH() instead to return the row/column in the table, then
use a range object to get that cell's properties "rickcstahl" wrote in message ... I am using VLOOKUP to retrieve values from several different worksheets.

i hit send too early
i was suggesting that MATCH would allow you to do this example so instead of dim val as string val = WorksheetFunction.VLOOKUP(what, where, ret, false) dim val as Range dim rowindex as long rowindex = WorksheetFunction.MATCH(what, where.columns(1), false) set val = where.resize(1,1).Cells(index,ret) whe what is string to be found, where is the range table to be searched, ret is the return column "rickcstahl" wrote in message ...
