Default How can I retain the formatting of the data in a lookup table?

The short answer is no. Formulas return values only. They can not return
formats.

When using the LOOKUP function, is it possible to retain the formatting of
the data in the lookup table so that the value returned appears in that same
formatting? What I mean is that the sorted table has some items formatted
differently (indented slightly and a smaller font), so I want these
characteristics retained whenever the LOOKUP function returns these values.
Thanks!
