Default Formatting in a formula

I am trying to format only a certain part of a formula...

Formula is :

=IF(ISBLANK('Cabinet Information'!D21),"Stain","Stain - "&'Cabinet
Information'!D21)

I don't want to bold Stain, only what comes after it - 'Cabinet
Information'!D21).
Is this possible from inside a formula?

Thanks in advance,

Pat Canton

Not within a formula. You would need to copy and then pastespecial/values and
then apply the formats

Nope.

Formulas don't support this kind of character by character formatting.
