I have a table in sheet1 with some cells and fonts are color formatted. Another similar table in sheet2 has the IF function to get one of its column contents if J3 cell matches (Data Validation list) the column heading in sheet1. Thanks to the formula =IF($J$3=Sheet1!$A$3,Sheet1!A19,"")&IF(..... because it works in getting the column values, however the color format of the fonts in sheet1 are not applied in sheet2 automatically. All I want now is to get the same cell font colors from a column in sheet1 to a column in sheet2 if J3 changes. Appreciate the kind assistance from anyone please.
 

Excel Facts

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
Welcome to the Board!

How exactly are these cells being colored?

If they are being colored by Conditional Formatting, then just set up the same Conditional Formatting rules in Sheet2.

If they are being colored manually, then the only way I can think of is to use VBA.

Warm Greetings and thank you for a warm welcome.
The cells are colored manually. The contents of column cells are texts and have two or three different colors.
I agree that VBA may help. Any VBA code that you may want to share. Thanks and regards.

Can you post an example of your two sheets, so we can see the structure, and exactly how this should look/work?

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data that will allow us to copy/paste it to our Excel spreadsheets, so we can work with the same copy of data that you are. Instructions on using this tool can be found here: XL2BB Add-in

Note that there is also a "Test Here” forum on this board. This is a place where you can test using this tool (or any other posting techniques that you want to test) before trying to use those tools in your actual posts.
