    Conditional Formatting to mirror another Cell by Border Outline

    I am working on a Cell Value issue;

    I want to utilize a mirror format; where,
    by Example,

    Cell A1 is formatted with Complete Border
    then Cell Q1 is the same with the same value?

    Can this be done?

    Or, could I create a "Select" this Cell, which would cause it to "Format a Full Border" on a box?

    Hi and welcome to the board

    Why not use a Conditional Formatting in Q1 so that when Q1=A1 a border is added to the cell?

    The Cell Q1 will always be equal to A1; I need the Cell to have a Border when the same has a Border.
    Information example
    Shipping Method: (Circle One)
    (A1)Delivery (B1)Will Call (Q1)Delivery (R1)Will Call
    ***
    I would make a drop down, if I was able, within the project requirements, or a Conditional Shading; however, it is outside my scope of allowance for this project.

    To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook. Don't upload a picture when you have a workbook question. None of us is inclined to recreate your data. Upload the workbook and manually add an 'after' situation so that we can see what you expect. In addition clearly explain how you get the results..
    To attach a file to your post, you need to be using the main 'New Post' or 'New Thread' page and not 'Quick Reply'.
    To use the main 'New Post' page, click the 'Post Reply' button in the relevant thread.

    On this page, below the message box, you will find a button labelled 'Manage Attachments'.
    Clicking this button will open a new window for uploading attachments.

    You can upload an attachment either from your computer or from another URL by using the appropriate box on this page.
    Alternatively you can click the Attachment Icon to open this page.

    To upload a file from your computer, click the 'Browse' button and locate the file.

    To upload a file from another URL, enter the full URL for the file in the second box on this page.
    Once you have completed one of the boxes, click 'Upload'.

    Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
    You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.

    Order Fill Sheet - Sample.xlsx

    Attached is the Spreadsheet / Workbook.
    we have the Contents of Cells, "match" each other.

    Kind of, only having to fill it out once, and have it print two on a page, but one needs "Warehouse copy" on the bottom... as depicted.

    Thank you for your help.
