    Looking to match cell color along with cell values

    Is there any way to format a cell's color to be the same as another cell that has a matching value? I can't see how it could be done with CF (which I'd rather stay away from anyway), so I'm wondering if anyone knows how this could be done - I've manually done this for cells C5:C7 on the Grid worksheet attached, for values that match C18:C25, but it would be nice to do it automatically, otherwise probably not worth the time... Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

    Only other way I can think of would be with a few lines of code:

    Re: Looking to match cell color along with cell values

    Formulas cannot pull back formatting, so unless the initial cells where colored using CF (in which case, may be able to use the similar rule), then VBA is the only other option
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
