revealing format of a cell
Hi - Is there a formula that allows me to reveal a cell's format in Excel
2003? I want to be able to distinguish between cells in bold font (e.g. return "true") vs cells not in bold font (e.g. return "false")? Any help appreciated! Thanks. |

James,
You would need to use a custom, user-defined function, coded in VBA. For example Function IsBold(r As Range) As Boolean IsBold = R.Font.Bold End Function used like =IsBold(A1) but it won't recalc automatically - use Ctrl-Shift-F9 - and it won't reveal bolding applied by Conditional formatting. That is a whole other kettle of fish. HTH, Bernie MS Excel MVP "James Irwin" wrote in message ... Hi - Is there a formula that allows me to reveal a cell's format in Excel 2003?

You could download and install Longre's free morefunc.xll add-in from http://xcell05.free.fr/ and then use the XLM.GET.CELL function. --ron |
