Excel - Copy Conditional Formatting, Remove Rules, Keep Format

Question

I know you usually show what you\'ve tried in a question, but this is more of a \"Do you have a good routine that does this?\" question and I\'m hoping you\'ll be willing to

Answer 1

A very simple method is to filter the list by color. Then FILL with the appropriate cell color you need. then unfilter and remove conditional formatting. The fill will remain.

Answer 2

Yes it is possible :) What you need to do is change the formatting of the cells that you plan to copy by mimicking the DisplayFormat and then deleting the conditional formatting

Sub Keep_Format()
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim mySel As Range, aCell As Range

    '~~> Change this to the relevant sheet
    Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
    '~~> Change this to the relevant range
    Set mySel = ws.Range("A1:A10")

    For Each aCell In mySel
        With aCell
          .Font.FontStyle = .DisplayFormat.Font.FontStyle
          .Interior.Color = .DisplayFormat.Interior.Color
          .Font.Strikethrough = .DisplayFormat.Font.Strikethrough
        End With
    Next aCell

    mySel.FormatConditions.Delete

    '
    '~~> Now Do the copying
    '

    '~~> Once you are done, close the sorce worksheet without saving
End Sub

Answer 3

I think I've got it with the Office Clipboard: Copy range, open the Office Clipboard pane (the tiny button in the bottom right corner of the Clipboard section under the Home tab) and paste from there.

Answer 4

I was trying to do the same, all answers seemed too much of work for me or based on some bug / glitch.

What worked for me is opening ms word copying the whole table from ms excel into ms word then pasting it back to ms excel. The style is there but the conditional formatting doesn't apply anymore.

Answer 5

I copied my range of cells. Pasted them into Word. Recopied the range in Word and pasted back into excel.
