thanks for your information.

However I already use up 3 CF criteria, the criteria I setup is

1- $A1=" " format text to bold
2- $A1=1 format text to color blue & italic
3-$A1="xx" format text to red & italic

what I need to count only the bolded text..

You can use the same criteria as the conditional formatting criteria
