    Hi @Vincent Roman (Belfius),

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    To use the Mach Destination Formatting feature in Excel, there are several methods you can use:

    Method 1: With Paste icon

    • First copy the cell or range of cells you want with Ctrl + C
    • Select the destination cell and right click in that cell
    • Under Paste Options there will be a series of icons. In that list, you will choose the Formatting (R) icon which having a paint brush

    Method 2: With Paste special

    • Using the same step in Method 1, you need to first copy the cell or range of cells you want with Ctrl + C and select the destination cell
    • Go to the Home tab, under the Paste button there is a small arrow.
    • After clicking that arrow, you will see a list of options, you can choose between these three which I highlight below
