An answer was provided in this question: webapps: Cell reference with colour formatting for doing so within a tab, but not across tabs. Does anyone have suggestions for a script that will work across tabs?
Asking for a teacher friend that wants to combine attendance/roster from multiple tabs (classes) into one master tab.
I have created a sample google sheet that shows how I am able to reference cells from other tabs in the "Master" tab with a simple "=" formula, here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nMvs5-PWenGcOCNnA9rKnhGo-yAjjLNY07dhoR6-fCw/edit?usp=sharing.
The goals is that when I link to a cell from the other tab, the formatting of that cell should be retained. Particularly, this is helpful for teachers that highlight specific words in a student/participant's name when trying to remember that student's name. They are able to do so on individual rosters, but not on a comprehensive list by simply linking to that cell. They would have to instead copy/paste formatting from the individual tab each time, which can become cumbersome with greater number of classes.
