VLOOKUP and Formatting help

I have a simple VLOOKUP that is working.

Problem is the text source data (sheet1) has strikethrough formatting when appropriate and I'd like to pass that formatting to the result cells of the VLOOKUP (sheet2).

I don't want to have to run a macro to accomplish this. Basically, if I format a cell in sheet1, I'd like to be able to automatically see that value in sheet2 with the strikethrough formatting.

Thanks

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
"I don't want to have to run a macro to accomplish this"

You don't ahve an option but to use a macro - formulas will only evaluate results, they cannot directly effect the "environment" of the worksheet, including cell formatting.

Care to post back with a few more details (where your data is etc...)

Paddy,

I got a workaround...

I set a new column's value to 'X' when I see the strikethrough on the 'from' sheet row.

The 'to' sheet does the VLOOKUP pulling the 'X'. I then did an '=AND' via conditional formatting to employ the strikethrough.
