keeping format of a referenced cell
Dear experts,
I have a workbook where I reference cells from one worksheet to the other. Ex. Cell A1 of Sheet2: "=Sheet1!A3" My challenge is that I would like not only to have the value of the referenced cell, which I have without problems, but also keep the format of the referenced cell (in the above case, cell A3 in Sheet1) Could you please help me? Many thanks, Kind regards -- Valeria

keeping format of a referenced cell
This is not possible. The closest you can come is to copy the cell directly,
or setup a macro to copy the cell every time you make a change (I don't recommend this!). As formatting is usually a static variable (it doesn't change often) would it be possible for you to first copy the cells over, and then create the formula links? -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "Valeria" wrote: Dear experts, I have a workbook where I reference cells from one worksheet to the other.

keeping format of a referenced cell
Hello,
thanks, unforutnately this is not possible. The format of cell changes every month depending on different inputs.... this is why I wanted to reflect it automatically.

If format of source cell is due to Conditional Formatting, CF the
destination cell the same. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Tue, 6 Oct 2009 06:36:01 -0700, Valeria wrote: Hello, thanks, unforutnately this is not possible. The format of cell changes every month depending on different inputs.... this is why I wanted to reflect it automatically. Thanks,
