How does one use a formula to bring over the formatting as well
Hello
I am using the following formula in hopes of copying the data over including the format into another worksheet called Early. In the worksheet called Early I have placed the following formula in A5. =Schedule!A5 A5 in the Schedule worksheet has this fields format as Custom mm/dd/yyy. The data in the Early worksheet is a number and the format is just GENERAL. How does one use a formula to bring over the formatting as well? I have this in other cells as well in the worksheet Early where I am expecting the formatting and the color to be copied over but it isn't doing that. Thanks |

How does one use a formula to bring over the formatting as well
Using = will only return the value of the cell, it won't transfer the
formatting although it should return a date as a date, not General. Is it just an entered date or the result of a formula? Colours, borders, text fonts etc cannot be transferred by using =Schedule!A5 to use your example, you would need VB code to do that which would probably more trouble than it's worth. Regards, Alan.
