Hi David

Mark your range of data then
FormatConditional FormattingFormula is =ISNUMBER(SEARCH("total",$A1))
Set whatever formats you want

The above assumes that column A contains the word total, change to suit

I've got a very large spreadsheet where I've used the SubTotal
command, but I
want to bolden each sub total and increase the font size. Rather than
go
through each sub total and add the formatting is there a function
where I can
apply this the one time so it applies the formatting automatically?

Thanks
