Thus if your spare cell is Z1, name it (this is essential because you are using different sheets).
If you want to change colours for some other reason you could use a spare cell on the first sheet to contain the relevant criterion. If, for example you want a cell to change colour because its value exceeds a certain number that is easy to do. There might be a VBA solution though you would need to keep a close eye on cell addresses and/or use named cells and named ranges to maintain the integrity of the formatting.Ī workaround would be to use Conditional Formatting to change the formatting in both the original and the linked cells. If you change the formatting after you have created the link, the linked cell's formatting will not update. How do I link worksheets to other worksheets in the same workbook and keep all formatting?

Keep source column widths: Preserves the column widths as well as all formulas and formatting.įormatting only: Pastes only the formatting, leaving all values and formulas out of the pasted range. Values and Source Formatting: Strips all formulas (see "Values Only") and preserves all formatting. In addition, only formula results (see "Values Only") are pasted. Values and Number Formatting: Formatting is preserved only for numeric values, including dates. By choosing it, you strip all formulas and paste only the resulting values. Values Only: This option appears only when the pasted data contains formulas. Match destination formatting: Formats the pasted data to match the formatting already existing in the new location.

There are five master sheets (these cannot be merged) with weekly schedules and then linked to each master sheet are subsequent worksheets for each daily schedules, one per day of the week collecting what the teaching staff is doing on each day. I tried to find an answer to this problem but had no luck.
