Further to Ron, in Excel only text constants can have mixed formatting.
Never numbers and never formulas, even when they return text.

If A1 contains "November 2005" where the '2005' is BOLD and RED, how can
I
put a formula in B5 something like "=A1" so that not only the value being
taken but also the BOLD and the RED format?
Thanks a Lot. SUNAN.
