    Link Excel Workbook to Another with Conditional Formatting

    Hi Everyone,

    Wanting to know if its possible to do the following;

    I want to link some cells in Workbook A to Workbook B - This seems to work no worries, right click on the cell and paste link into the other Workbook

    However I want to be able to link the formatting between 1 cell on Workbook A and Workbook B

    Is this possible?

    Regards

    Hi, welcome to the forum

    Is this possible?
    Short answer - no. Formatting is cosmetic, not data, and formulas work with data
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools

    Not sure if my reply worked before or not

    Is it possible to have

    C:\Folder\Master.xlsx with 3 x sheets (Alpha)

    C:\Folder\test\alpha.xlsx which is completely linked to the sheet on the Master workbook?
