Don't use the paper clip it is not working anymore on this forum.

No, that can not be done.

Excel has no formula to copy the format of the cells.

If it has to be done you can use VBA.

But why not just filter on column B in the master sheet.

One advantage of that is have your backgroundcolor.

See the attached file.

Maybe you could use conditinal format on the december 2016 sheet.

But as already said, I would use the filter.
