Is it possible to keep the font and other text formatting in a referenced cell? I've created a draft worksheet that the user enters their data into. Some cells have tolerance characters. There is another worksheet in a final format. I've referenced the cells from the draft worksheet but they don't display in the same fonts that they are entered in. Can someone inform me how to have the desired fonts show up in the final referenced cell. I'm using Excel 2001 on OS X.

Thanks

Scott

Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.

Welcome to the board.

As far as I know, there is no native function that will allow you to achieve your goal. You would need to use VBA.

I'm sorry, other than formatting the cell the same as its reference, I don't think there is a way. Worksheet functions only return values, not formatting.

Edit: **** these hired tands.
