One way, assuming data is in col. A:

1. Press Ctrl+F3.

2. Define the name "istyle" (no quotes) and in the "Refers
To:" box put:

=IF(GET.CELL(20,!$A1),1,IF(GET.CELL(21,!$A1),2,"") )

3. In cell B1 put:

=istyle

4. Copy the formula down.

5. If you're using XL2002 or earlier, read this:

I have a list of hundreds of cells, the cells are either
Bold, Italics, or
Regular.
I want those cells that are bold to result in 1 in
another column. those in
italics to will result in 2.

Am I able to write a "if" function that achieve this? If
not, what should I
do?

Please kindly advise
.
