    Change a cells fill color. VBA to make another cell the same color and also changes.

    A coworker has asked me:
    If I make A1 a red fill, can I have E1 also change to red automatically, (or to whatever color A1 gets changed to?)

    I have no idea.


    A1 fill color is not dependent on it's value, or on another cells value. . .

    Anyone have some code that can do this?

    TIA.

    Pete

    There's no event handler for formatting changes, but I suppose you could sorta replicate it with SelectionChange. Change the color of A1, then select any cell. At that point E1 color will change to A1 color.
