Copy/Reflect cells in Excel from one place to others, keeping the fill colour and values

I'm running an Excel spreadsheet that keeps track of football games for scores and performance, and then computes a range of probabilities based on poisson distribution and average goals scored.

Each game I quantify the score of each team based on 2 different time scales, I quantify using a colour (green, yellow, orange, red). I then enter the score into 2 of those cells. I don't mind doing this.

But then I take those 4 cells and have to copy them into 3 different pages. I'd love to automate this part, but haven't a clue about VBA or macros.

Maybe some pictures would help....

In this pic you can see the actual score of the game in column CC (Ipswich 0: Rotherham 1). The 4 Home/Away sections are goal scoring strengths based on different time scales ("season so far" & "50 games") and each time scale has values for games just at Home or Away and games at Home and Away. Don't concern yourself with the conditional formatting of those values, or my predictions which were completely wrong this time!

So I look at Ipswich:0 and see it's vales for each scale, giving me 0.22 (orange - 3rd highest), 0.19 (again orange), 0.19 (orange), 0.17 (orange). For Rotherham:1 it's yellow green yellow green.

So over on the Teams page I colour the 4 boxes for each team for that game accordingly, as you can see in the pic, and then I input the score for that game.


But then I have to copy those boxes to 3 other places, and this is what I'd like to automate.

Thanks for reading. Can anyone help?
