I've attached a screenshot below showing where you can find that trigger. I've also added the line where you can add excel as an exception, so it won't fire on excel windows.

If you don't want the trigger to fire at all (So all formatting is maintained when copied), you can disable the trigger entirely in the ClipboardFusion settings window.

Thanks! ]]> RE: Clipboard fusion and Excel format painter do not work together https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/clipboard-fusion-and-excel-format-painter-do-not-work-together/?ID=4eb37acd-7be7-4db5-8c26-4e76f4039510#6 Thu, 06 May 2021 04:53:28 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/clipboard-fusion-and-excel-format-painter-do-not-work-together/?ID=4eb37acd-7be7-4db5-8c26-4e76f4039510#6 ClipboardFusion I've just realized with the changes I've made, now when it copies a formula its pasting as a value, not as a formula :o ]]> RE: Clipboard fusion and Excel format painter do not work together https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/clipboard-fusion-and-excel-format-painter-do-not-work-together/?ID=4eb37acd-7be7-4db5-8c26-4e76f4039510#5 Thu, 06 May 2021 01:01:20 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/clipboard-fusion-and-excel-format-painter-do-not-work-together/?ID=4eb37acd-7be7-4db5-8c26-4e76f4039510#5 ClipboardFusion Ive tried to follow these instructions but the format painter has stopped working. There are a lot of settings in here, can you post an image of the settings that allow you to copy text and have the format copy work in Excel. (that is the most commonly used productivity tool in the world and i'm surprised were having compatibility issues, excel has been #1` for 30+ years) ]]> RE: Clipboard fusion and Excel format painter do not work together https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/clipboard-fusion-and-excel-format-painter-do-not-work-together/?ID=4eb37acd-7be7-4db5-8c26-4e76f4039510#4 Wed, 05 May 2021 16:56:21 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/clipboard-fusion-and-excel-format-painter-do-not-work-together/?ID=4eb37acd-7be7-4db5-8c26-4e76f4039510#4 ClipboardFusion Hello,

Can you try putting "-Excel" in the "Window Text" match condition for the scrub text trigger? This should prevent the trigger from firing off items copied from Excel, and maintain formatting.

Just so you know as well, the formatting is only stored for the current copied text. The formatting won't be stored if the item is being copied from the Clipboard History.

Thanks! ]]> RE: Clipboard fusion and Excel format painter do not work together https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/clipboard-fusion-and-excel-format-painter-do-not-work-together/?ID=4eb37acd-7be7-4db5-8c26-4e76f4039510#3 Sun, 02 May 2021 02:10:27 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/clipboard-fusion-and-excel-format-painter-do-not-work-together/?ID=4eb37acd-7be7-4db5-8c26-4e76f4039510#3 ClipboardFusion This response is not adequate, I'm in excel all day and need the multiple clipboard to store contents on copy so the exclusion rule does not work for me. However I can't manage without copy formatting either, after all the purpose of this app is to improve productivity. Can this problem be escalated because its only recently started?

Excel does some wacky stuff with the clipboard that isn't always compatible with ClipboardFusion. On the ClipboardFusion Settings > Ignore Programs tab, can you try adding Excel? That should fix this up for you.

Thanks!
