Equal Value & Formatting between 2 Cells

[alexneedshelp]

Is there any way to make one cell on a separate sheet appear EXACTLY the same, including formatting and values?
As in this for example:
Pieces of Paper (Blue)

I would like to keep the formatting for (Blue) , color and bold, but I have not figured out how to do this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It would require writing code.

[alexneedshelp]

What type of 'code'?
Where would I find information regarding on and how to structure this 'code'?

Please provide more instructions as to how to solve the issue I have brought forward, and be more precise with your answers.

Thank you.

The code is VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) which is a programming language and is the basis for all Excel macros. I am not advanced enough to write this code for you. You could post in the Excel Programming folder with a link to this post. You'd be more likely to get good code from there.

Thank you ChemistB. I will check into that.

I appreciate your 2 cents, by the way.

This is an example. On a blank sheet1, right click on the Sheet tab and select VIEW CODE, paste in this sample macro:

Please Login or Register  to view this content.

The ALT-Q to close the editor.

This version only copies C1:D20 plus watches M12.

Type anything anywhere, formatting, fonts...anything. What this does is anytime the cursor passes the watched range, it copies that cell to the same position on Sheet2.

This is very basic, obviously....just to give the idea.

Thank you JBeaucaire.

Would you mind looking at my other post, in the programming section? I have provided an example. And I am somewhat confused concerning what another user has claimed. Please have a look, and verify or disprove the other users claim. I would appreciate it.

There is another way of accomplishing this.

Use the Camera function. It will make the dependent cell look exactly the same as precedent cell because it is a picture of that cell. Whatever changes occur in the precedent cell will be reflected in the linked picture.

To get the Camera button go to the Add Buttons drop down box at the end of your toolbar. Click on Customize and choose the Tools category. Scroll down in the Commands section to find the Camera button. Drag it onto your toolbar.

Then select the precedent cell and click on the Camera button.
Go to where you want the picture to appear and click in that cell.

The formula supplied in this thread would be the same answer to the question you've posed there, which feels like the same question, to me.

What a great tool! I'd never even heard of it!

Thanks for that.

Same as if you hold the Shift key down and then do Edit > Copy Picture

You're welcome JBeaucaire.

It has been quite some time since I last used it so I had to find it again after reading the OP.

Thanks shg for reminding me of the keyboard shortcut.

Indeed, it is the same question. I directed you towards the other thread due to the example I have attached, and being in a more specific area of this forum.

This doesn't appear to be copying the format

actualize,

Unfortunately you need to post your question in a new thread, it's against the forum rules to post a question in the thread of another user. If you create your own thread, any advice will be tailored to your situation so you should include a description of what you've done and are trying to do. Also, if you feel that this thread is particularly relevant to what you are trying to do, you can surely include a link to it in your new thread.
