How to Paste Link a cell with color

P

Paste Link

I have a user who is pasting a cell from one spreadsheet to another but the
original cell has a color background and when it is paste linked, the color
is lost. Can anyone help with why this happens?

That is the way it works, a link never contains the format, the user needs
to do it twice, first paste the link and then paste the format

Formulas return values--not formats.

Maybe you could use format|conditional formatting to mimic the colors?

Or just copy|paste (no longer a formula, though)

Thank you very much
