Assuming you mean: IF cell B1 is formatted as bold,
we could try the UDF below from a post by Ron Rosenfeld
http://tinyurl.com/z2dmb

To install the UDF:
Press Alt + F11 to go to VBE
Click Insert Module
Copy & paste the UDF below into the code window

'-----
Function IsBold(rg As Range) As Boolean
Application.Volatile
IsBold = rg.Font.Bold
End Function
'-----

Press Alt+Q to get back to Excel

Then put in A1:
=IF(isbold(B1),B1,"")

Copy A1 down as may be required

Press F9 to force-calculate

Brian

Please help translate the following
 
B1's font is made bold via conditional formatting which is not recognized as
bold by the formula you provided. I checked B1 and found that although cond
formatting made content of B1 bold it still indicated in the format menu as
regular. So therefore the formula is not finding any cells to be bold even
though they may appear to be.

can something be added to fix this problem?

Thank you

Brian

Please help translate the following
 
Us the same condition as you use when you bold the font

=IF(A15,B1,"")

as an example where the condition is 5

Please help translate the following
 
Yes, the UDF doesn't work for CF,
as pointed out by Ron in his post
(you didn't say the "bold" was coming from CF
in your orig. post)

If it's meant to reproduce the CF condition,
it's simpler, as per example posted by Peo
