Hi there

I have number in column A

What I want to do is have a macro that can look down the column and if
the cell is bold then multiply the contents by -1 in order for me to
turn it into a negative figure.

I someone can help with this,

Thanks

Andrea

dim myCell
for each myCell in activesheet.columns(1).cells
if myCell < "" then
if mycell.font.fontstyle = "Bold" then
on error resume next 'just incase there is text in
the cell
myCell = myCell*-1
end if
end if
next myCell

.....not tested but hopefully the above is a good start for you

just tested and looks like you need to use the following line rather
than what I originally said:

myCell.Value = myCell.Value * -1

(I thought value was the default property !!)

Beware word-wrap

Public Sub ProcessData()
Const TEST_COLUMN As String = "A" '<=== change to suit
Dim i As Long
Dim iLastRow As Long
With ActiveSheet

iLastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, TEST_COLUMN).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 To iLastRow
If .Cells(i, TEST_COLUMN).Font.Bold Then
If IsNumeric(.Cells(i, TEST_COLUMN).Value) Then
.Cells(i, TEST_COLUMN).Value = _
.Cells(i, TEST_COLUMN).Value * -1
End If
End If
Next i

End With

End Sub
