    Question how to lookup a table in sheet1,if the cell is color then color the matchin cell in sheet2

    Hi All,

    I am looking for a formula that will lookup the code in Sheet1 and color the matching code in sheet2.
    For example 1224 Crunchie is colored in Green in Sheet1.
    I would like a formula that will look up Sheet1 and color A2 and B2 in Green (where the code 1224 Crunchie is displayed)

    Is this possible with a vlookup formula or a conditional formatting?

    In this example both sheets are in the same book, however my original data is from two seperate workbooks. I will be referencing one workbook and if it finds a match in color and code i want it to comeback and color my 2nd workbook.

    I hope my explanation is clear and i welcome your assistance.

    Please see attachment

    Thanks
    Rique

    Re: how to lookup a table in sheet1,if the cell is color then color the matchin cell in sh

    if the colors on sheet 1 were manually applied, then to the best of my knowledge, there is no formula that can see what color they are. if there is some logic to how they are colored (ie based on some formula) then that same logic could probably be used to change the color.

    failing that, some1 will have to develop some VBA code to ID the colors and apply then
    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

    un fortunately there is no logic behind coloring the cells, they were done manually.

    Thank you for you help.
