    Unhappy Auto copy cells including a cells Coloured background (colour fill)

    I have multiple daily work Rosta's on multiple sheets in a workbook. I am joining them together on a new weekly Rosta sheet. I have formatted some of the cells in the daily sheets with a background colour. I am creating the weekly sheet by simply saying (SHEET 8) cell A1 = Sheet1 cell A1 etc etc. The issue is that the background colour in sheet 1 cell A1 does not come over with the data. Is there a way to import the different colours in some cells over with the data to sheet 8 without doing it manually?

    Thank you for viewing what I think will be a small problem for you guys, but a real problem for my limited ability.

    Re: Auto copy cells including a cells Coloured background (colour fill)

    Thank you both for your quick responses. I think my post should read AUTO IMPORT Cells including the coloured background of the cell
    I understand that I can copy and paste it into sheet 8. However, I would like to be able to enter the data on daily sheets (1 through 7) and for sheet 8 which combines all sheets into a weekly rosta to update automatically, including any cells that have been filled with colour to highlight an important meeting etc.

    Hi Fotis1991,
    Do you think that this is able to be solved, or am I asking to much from excel?

    Warmest regards,

    Rick

    Hi Fotis1991,
    Unfortunately not. Each week is different and depends on how busy the workload is.
