    Variable placement linked data, including CELL COLOR...?

    Struggled with the best title for this post... my apologies...

    I have two tabs. Tab "A" contains data that is pasted during a macro. Tab "B" uses INDEX and MATCH formulae to return values from "A" because the row and columns vary week to week.

    Here's the challenge.... The data in the cells in tab "A" will be either 'no fill', or green, or red. I would like for the corresponding linked-cell in "B" to also have the color of it's twin on "A"...

    Is that possible?

    Thank you for any direction!

    Unless you have a logical rule behind the coloring, i.e. green cells are numbers < 100, there is no way to link the cell colors using formulas. You would have to resort back to VBA to do that. If there is a logical rule behind the colors, you can use conditional formatting.
