this is vba code............ you can't do what you want using formulas
only. save your worksheet before running this. the code goes in a
general module and looks for bold from columns A through E. post back
if you need assistance getting the code in the proper place & running
it.
===========================
Option Explicit

Sub karen()

Dim myLastRow As Long
Dim r As Long
Dim c As Range

myLastRow = ActiveSheet.Cells(10000, 1).End(xlUp).Row

For r = myLastRow To 1 Step -1
Set c = ActiveSheet.Range("a" & r)
If c.Font.Bold Or _
c.Offset(0, 1).Font.Bold Or _
c.Offset(0, 2).Font.Bold Or _
c.Offset(0, 3).Font.Bold Or _
c.Offset(0, 4).Font.Bold Then
c.EntireRow.Delete
End If
Next r

End Sub
==========================
hope it helps!

Using Excel 2003

I have an Excel report that has over 2,000 rows. I want to delete the rows
where the text/numbers are NOT bold and keep the ones that ARE bold. I’m not
sure if this is possible. If this cannot be done based on that criterion, the
rows I want to keep all have a number value in column E. Maybe it's possible
to isolate only the rows that have a value in column E. I’m not sure how to
do this.

I would sort the records, but some of the cells I don’t want are merged.. At
least all of the rows I want to keep do not have any merged cells. Is this
possible? The range of data is A2:E2169.

Any help would be greatly appreciated – Thanks, Karen
