Copy a custom style into a new workbook

If data is presented aesthetically, it will be easily interpreted by the users. When you present your data in a clean as well as visually pleasing way, it makes the report more attractive and easier to read.

One of the best methods of presenting data is through Excel Pivot Tables and Slicers.

A Pivot Table can have custom styles applied to them to correspond with the general theme and color of the entire worksheet. You can copy a custom style applied to a slicer and paste it to another slicer in another workbook.

Companies usually follow a certain color pattern, so a custom-made slicer style must be mimicked so that the color palette matches all their worksheets. This custom style can be copied and applied in different workbooks as well.

Let’s see how this can be achieved.

You can see two workbooks here. The workbook on the left side has the custom style that we want. Let’s say we want this style to be applied to the slicer on the right workbook.
