Make one cell bold if another cell 0
I need to make the value in A1 bold if the value in A2 is greater than zero.
Conditional formatting won't work because the result (bold) has to be applied to the cell to which the test is applied. The IF function won't work because value_if_true and value_if_false cannot be formatting statements. How can I do this? |

Conditional Formatting will do that, in A1 apply CF using the formula option
and use the formula =A20 Regards, Alan. "Ken Elder" wrote in message ... I need to make the value in A1 bold if the value in A2 is greater than zero.

You can do this with CF, highlight A1 and in CF just change the dropdown from Cell value is to Formula is and enter =A20 -- HTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England DTHIS www.nickhodge.co.uk "Ken Elder" wrote in message ...
