problem copying and pasting
- Feb 19, 2023
OK, I see what's happening.
The cells in columns A and B on the Members1 sheet have font colors applied manually, but those are overruled by the conditional formatting rules.
For example, the text ANGELLE GARY in A4 and B4 is formatted manually as red, but since M4 contains Senior, the conditional formatting rule overrules that and colors the text blue.
When the code copies columns A and B to columns B and C on the Score Input-Flights sheet, both the manual formatting and the conditional formatting are copied.
But none of he conditional formatting rules is applied, since the rules now refer to column M on the Score Input-Flights sheet, and that column is empty.
So the cells display the manually applied colors. On the second sheet, ANGELLE GARY is red, not blue.
To keep the conditional formatting rules working, you have to copy column M too:
Sub Test() Application.ScreenUpdating = False Sheets("Members1").Range("A1:B200").Copy With Sheets("Score Input-Flights").Range("B1:C200") .PasteSpecial Paste:=xlFormats .PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues End With Sheets("Members1").Range("M1:M200").Copy With Sheets("Score Input-Flights").Range("M1:M200") .PasteSpecial Paste:=xlFormats .PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues End With Application.CutCopyMode = False Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub
Try this version:
Sub Test()
Dim fc As FormatCondition
Dim f As String
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Sheets("Members1").Range("A1:B200").Copy
With Sheets("Score Input-Flights").Range("B1:C200")
.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlFormats
.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues
For Each fc In .FormatConditions
f = fc.Formula1
fc.Modify Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:=Replace(f, "(", "(Members1!")
Next fc
End With
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
