Default Formula to Add only the BOLDED numbers in a column.

I have a column of numbers and some of them are in boldface. How can I add
only the boldfaced numbers in the column?

I made them bolded...they are like subtotals...I didn't want to make a
separate column of them. Can it be done?

Also, I could make them a certain color or whatever...Can I add only those
numbers in a column with certain characteristics?

Sub sumbolded()
For Each c In Range("b1:b21")
If c.Font.Bold = True Then ms = ms + c
Next c
MsgBox ms
End Sub

Color the cells then use the SumByColor Function from Chip Pearson's site.

I would do this via Word. Copy the column to Word. Use Edit, Replace in Word
to remove numbers that are not bold. Copy the remaining numbers to a
different column in Excel and add.

I am not sure if you are being facetious. I believe Search and Replace to be
the one area where Word is much more powerful than Excel.

Somewhere in these discussions I made a similar suggestion which was well
received by the original poster. I do not seem to be able to trace that
thread.
If you consider Excel and Visual Basic to be separate entities, then the
question in this thread would be an example. If not, then I would not say
this method can do what Excel cannot do. It is a tool just as Visual Basic
is a tool. The only comment that I can make is that in Search and Replace one
can get by without Visual Basic, which does require specialised knowledge.
Having said all this, I must admit that your macro suggestion is a neat and
efficient solution.

No, I wouldn't claim to be that witty. I do think it funny to go thru the
procedure you describe to do a search. Perhaps you can give an serious
example of what Excel can't find that this convoluted procedure can.??
