keeping conditional formatting after paste
I am making a large spreadsheet that others will use and they will have to
paste large amounts of data onto the spreadsheet. The issue is that when they paste their data the conditional format that I set up for them is removed. Is there a way to lock the format in place and let them paste still? I would be happy with protecting the sheet and allowing paste to still be an option. |

Instead of simple 'paste' try using 'paste special' 'values'.
This will then only paste the copied value into the new cell's format. Hope this helps "ericahughes" wrote: I am making a large spreadsheet that others will use and they will have to paste large amounts of data onto the spreadsheet.

Teach them to use the "Paste Options Button" and "Match Destination
Formatting" From where is the source data that gets copied? We can probably build some code that keeps the destination formatting.
