I am currently using the array formula:

=TRANSPOSE(DataSheet!$AH$1:$BX$8)

to transpose a set of data from another sheet. However, the cell formatting (specifically cell color) does not transpose with this array formula as it does when you simple paste transpose

is there a way to edit this array formula to preserve the original cell color? Preferably not VBA as this doc will be shared with many who don't necessarily want to allow macros

Secondly (hope its ok to ask in same post) I would like this same data set to be copied and pasted next to what i'm talking about above and be sorted by cell color on top. is there a formula for this?

appreciate any help! thank you!

(Please see attached for what it should ideally look like, though I did this manually and would like it to be automatic stemming from my datasheet)

No, no, and no! Sorry, but everything you want to do requires VBA. The
only reason the formatting transposed with PasteTranspose is because
it tagged along with Copy.

Your 2nd request also requires VBA and you'd have to specify what order
would you like the colors sorted to.

Is there some reason you can't pre-format the cells with the TRANSPOSE
formula?
