Hi,

When copying and pasting from a particular site in question - for whatever reason it will not copy the color. Is there anyway to keep the original color ?

The link is

https://miseojeu.lotoquebec.com/en/results/complete-results

Then:

1. Press on "complete results" on the left hand side.
2. Select sport "hockey"
3. Select sub-category "National"
4. Below that - select sub-category "Matches"
5. Choose time period "January 19, 2013"

Ok.... results will come up. As you can see there "green" in certain boxes.

When copy and pasting - I cannot find a way of keeping the "green".

Any help would be much appreciated.
 
What you're copying is html text. The formatting is most likely defined
in a CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) attached to the page.

What I did is create my own layout/design and just type the results in
manually. The project knows what the draw days are for each game it
tracks and so I just click the 'Add Draw' button and it positions me at
the first number to enter, with the next draw date already filled in.

If you don't want to type numbers manually then format your sheet
however you like and just 'Paste Values'! However, I suspect all
results end up in a single sell. I prefer to give them each their own
cell so I can analyse frequency/combinations easier.

Hi Gary,

I appreciate your reply. You are correct - "paste values" does not work. It isn't because they data goes into one cell. In fact, the data is fine - the issue is the color doesn't carry over.

As for your suggestion... sorry - you lost me completely.

Past Values does exactly that! It does not paste formating/formulas. So
if it pastes the data fine then it does indeed work because that's all
it's supposed to paste!

Using Paste Values lets you design the target sheet with your desired
formatting. Since Paste Values only pastes values, your target sheet
will remain however formatted after the values get pasted. IOW, design
the color into your target sheet.<g>
