Default How to set a conditional format that is dependent on cell type

I have a worksheet that I perform a subtotal on using the subtotal wizard in
the Data toolset. The wizard inserts a row and the subtotal formula based on
the criteria entered. Therefore, the preceding cells (non-uniform range) are
values and the inserted row is a formula. I would like to bold the inserted
cells (the ones with the Subtotal formula).

You could use conditional formatting with a formula that tests for Total

=ISNUMBER(SEARCH("total",A7))

as an example

Bob,

Thank you very much! This is a great suggestion and works just like I want
it too.
