    I need help with transferring formatted text within a data validated cell

    I have a sheet that is constructing a menu. Each menu price pulls down a list of dishes dependent on the price choice. This is all done in drop down lists from a remote table using data validations.

    My issue is that we have a specific layout for the name of the dish, it's description, font size etc. I can format the original text, but when it has been 'chosen' from the drop down list, and transferred to the summary menu, the font reverts to basic. Is there a way to copy the cell in it's completely formatted cell rather than just the information in it? And how do I do it?

    Your post does not comply with Rule 1 of our Forum RULES. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution.

    Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.

    To change a Title on your post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.

    (This thread should receive no further responses until this moderation request is fulfilled, as per Forum Rule 7)
