Default Equal formula keeping both content and format

Hi, I would like to enter "equal formulas" that would keep the value and
format of the cells of origins from another worksheet, so that when I change
a value or format in a cell from worksheet 1, it is automatically corrected
in the worksheet 2. Is it possible? how can I do this? Thanks a lot in
advance!

Thanks Mike, but the problem with this is that it keeps only the value but
not the format and I absolutely need the format to be the same.
For example if I have in sheet 1 cell A1= 12 (in red and bold), I then need
in sheet 2 cell B3 to be equal to A1 that 12 but also in red and bold.

How can I do this?

Thanks
Laetitia

In what way does that respond to a format change on sheet 1, Mike?

Hi Laetitia,

If you want to replicate your worksheets (format, contents, ...) each
sheet should carry its own event macro :

Private Sub Worksheet_Deactivate()
Sheet1.Cells.Copy Destination:=Sheet2.Range("A1")
End Sub

Hi Carim, thanks for your answer. Except that I have to admit that I'm not
an expert when it comes to "event macro". How can I apply what you've
indicated concretely?

thanks a lot!

Carim's event code just copies every cell on sheet1 to sheet2.

I don't think you want that.

Hopefully Carim will post back with an explanation.

Formulas, such as =Sheet1!A1 only convey cell Values, not formatting. You
could also transfer formatting if the Conditional Formatting feature were
employed on both sheets..........
