    How to remove Applied Conditional Formatting in a Copied Sheet(s) retaining Format?

    How to remove Applied Conditional Formatting in a Copied Sheet(s) retaining Format?

    Dear Forum,

    I am creating several CopY sheets from a Parent WorkSheet and these Copied SHeets are without any Formulas but only have values and exactly the same formatting as the Parent WorKsheet...

    I have managed to get the Copied Sheet with Values and the Formats but how do I remove the conditional formatting so that there are not formulas in the conditional formatting box as well as retain the formatting which was happening due to the Condtional Formatting..

    I know it sounds contradictory however never know what all is possible?

    If its possible then what code I need to add during the Copying Operation and also exactly where do I add it to not disturb the Conditional FOrmatting of the Parent WorkSheet.

    Warm Regards

    Gut reaction is, you can't.

    I think you'd have to use VBA to replicate the formatting established by the CF conditions. This method is often used in Excel 2003 if there are more than 3 conditions required.

    Dear TMShucks,

    I even share the same feeling it mighr not be possible but who knows there might be some kind of VBA code to achieve that..!

    The way we copy a cells Value excluding the formula retaining the same contents, I wnat to remove the conditional formatting formulas in the bars but at the same time retaining the Formatting..

    I am working on Excell 2007 and creating replica of the Sheets which I want to save as Excel 2003 and I am only having three conditions in CF..

    So any suggestions please feel free to add..

    Warm Regards
