Default Formatting a Cell Reference with a Formula

No, I'm afraid that formulas cannot format cells.

Is there a way to make parts of a formula bold and or italic?

Replace you reference $K9 with:

TEXT($K9,"$#,##0.00")

and remove the "$" before it.

I have tried to do this and cannot, but my formula is a concatenation of
up
to 7 fields, including both numbers and text. Although I've formatted
the
cells that the concatenated formula is pulling, the dollar amounts are
not
being formatted within the concatenated formula result. Is there a way
to
format dollars within a concatenation formula?

My formula reads as:
=IF(ISBLANK($H9),"",CONCATENATE($H9," - ","(",I9,")"," ",$J9,"
","$",$K9,"
",$L9," "," ","(",$M9,")"))

I would like the dollar field K9 to show as dollars with dollar sign
and
appriopriate commas.
