    Can you copy conditional formatting from one workbook to another in Excel 2010?

    I know that in previous versions of Excel, this was not feasible. Has it become possible in 2010? If so, how?

    Thank you for any insight!

    It's possible by using the format painter.
    Hope this helps.

    i cant see how.
    when you copy a cf it has to reference the cells specified, afaik you cant ref cells in another workbook

    Cathy,

    I have copied conditional formatting between worksheets in the same workbook using (Copy - Paste Special - Formats) on several occasions and that has worked reasonably well.

    Perhaps you could try that across your workbooks?

    Cheers,

    AJ
