I am using Index() and Match() to populate a header on one worksheet (called "Master") with information from another (called "Programs") like so:
A11 is a data validation cell with a drop down menu, when a selection is made there, E14:AJ14 is populated by the formula above. (the "COLUMN(E$14)" bit is just there so I could auto-fill to the right without having to change the column index number for each cell)
The issue I'm running into is I would like to format (fill color and font color only) the cells as they are on the "programs" sheet. I know INDEX() doesn't actually copy the cell, and thus the formatting is lost but there must be a way to make this work, right? Some fancy formula to use in conditional formatting?
Thanks to anyone who can help.
Code:
=INDEX(Programs!$A$13:$AJ$250,MATCH(Master!$A$11,Programs!$A$13:$A$250,0),COLUMN(E$14))
