Is there a worksheet function available to format text? I have a situation
where I need to BOLD a column based on criteria provided in another column.
The file contains 27,000 rows so this is not something I want to do manually.
I understand that I may need to insert a new column and use an IF function
to either BOLD the original column value or copy it as is.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
