I have a question for anone on excel that I was hoping
someone would be able to help me with.

Typically when you want to add up a column of numbers you
would use the "sum" function. However, say for instance
you used the 'conditional formatting' function where some
of the numbers may either be bold or a different color.
Is there any function that will add up a column of
numbers depending on their formatting? Say for instance
I wanted to add up all the bold numbers separate from the
rest of the numbers. As it stands right now, the only
way I know how to do it is to hard code a sum function
with the different formatted numbers. I would like to
make this an automatic function. Perhaps you can use
an "IF" statement somehow?
