Default Formula with Cell reference to include formating?

Hi,

Excel does not do that. You could write a vba macro to do it but that is
probably overkill.

You could take a snapshoot (picture) and paste it but that is probably not
what you want.

I would like it to display the results of a cell formula in the same format
that is in the referenced cell.
For instance (simplified):
Cell A1 is formatted in Bold and Red.
Cell A2 is formatted in Italics and Blue.
The formula in B1 is =Max(a1:a2)
Then B1 would display in Bold and Red if A1 was the higher of the two
numbers but in Italics and Blue if A2 was the higher.
Is there a way to do this?
