Solved How to change a cell’s color to match another cell’s color

Hi!

I am using Excel to create a rooms inventory. There are over 2000 rooms. I have to keep a record of which rooms I have completed photographing.

In one tab, there is a list of all the rooms I have done. I have organized it so that there are 45 columns, one for each floor. There are varying rows as each floor has different number of rooms. Originally, they were ordered from lowest to highest. For example, the first column is the third floor. The first value in the column is room 301, the last room is 384. Each day that I complete a room, I turn the cell green and then I sort the columns individually so that the “green” cells are moved to the bottom of the column and the unfilled cells – the not-yet complete rooms remain at the top.

I tried researching this – tried conditional formatting and now hope there’s a code for this

Here is what I want to do.
I have another sheet, with the information displayed differently – more like a database of information about the rooms instead of a tracker like I had before. Each row has data about the room. For example, the room 301 has column headings such as “floor, type, description, etc. The last column/item for each for row/room is it’s status – whether it is completed or not.

Is there a way to make that cell in the complete column correspond to the room number in the first worksheet I described before (where it was just columns of rooms)

I manually change the color the the first worksheet – the tracker sheet – and I would like to know if it is possible to have that manual change automatically trigger a change in whatever corresponding room for the completed status cell.

My main concern is that I rearrange the data in the tracker sheet every day – since I sort the color cells to the bottom when it is complete.

Any advice? If this is not a possible task, I’d like to know to! Then I’ll just fill out the database worksheet manually as well.
