Get cells from multiple worksheets one by one with formula

For example, you need to reference cell B15 from worksheet “The First Quarter” to current sheet, the following formula will help you easily achieve it. Please do as follows.

1. In current worksheet, select a blank cell which you want to get the value of cell B15 of sheet “The First Quarter”, then enter formula into it.

= ‘The First Quarter’!B15

Notes:

2. If the sheet name contents are separated by spaces, please embraced the sheet name with single quotes in the formula. If no spaces exist in sheet name, just enter the sheet name without single quotes embraced.

2. If you want to get or reference cells from multiple sheets into current sheet, please repeat the above operations.

How do I reference a cell in another sheet that will also capture the formatting in that cell (color, font, etc)? =[name]![column row] doesn't do it.

In previous versions of Excel (2010) when you had 2 workbooks open, side-by-side (on multiple monitors) and used this nifty feature, you could go back and forth between the workbooks and the info would stay in the status bar even though you were working in a different workbook. Now, in 2013, it seems that as soon as you shift focus to a different workbook, it clears the status bar. Do you know if this is a static "feature" or something that can be turned back on?
