Looking for a Formula to Make Cell A1 match the color in A2. So if A2 meets the criteria to be Conditionally Formatted to Red then A1 would becom Red also.

Hello

Use the same criteria that you use in CF of A2.

That doesn't work for me. I don't care what the value of A1 is, it could be blank, i just want it to be the same color as A2. I know this example will work for what i'm need. i would explain in detail my real example but it's very detailed.

Hello

I insist on that. Can you pls upload a small sample workbook with the CF that you use in A2?

Here you are. So in this attachment L2 & L3 should match L4, L6 & L7 should match L8, L10 & L11 should match L12.

A full report will have a thousand plus lines and some wont flag Red. The current Red Flag is bases off the Group being 5% greater or less than each other. The reason why i want the others to match is so i can filter for the Red and get the whole group.

Hope that is clear.
