set formatting without using Conditional Formatting
I'm trying to set formatting with a function, and not with conditional
formatting. =IF(A10,A1,B1) What I want =IF(A10,A1 [font on bold blue],B1 [font in black]) I realize that this could be done with Conditional Formatting, but the actual function is significantly more complex. Any solutions or "Can't be done" are welcome. |

set formatting without using Conditional Formatting
Conditional formatting, manual formatting, or VBA code are your 3 choices.
Formulas alone cannot set formatting attributes. Oh, there is a 4th choice: using color codes in your numeric formatting strings, e.g. [red] "Chris T-M" wrote: I'm trying to set formatting with a function, and not with conditional formatting. =IF(A10,A1,B1) What I want =IF(A10,A1 [font on bold blue],B1 [font in black]) I realize that this could be done with Conditional Formatting, but the actual function is significantly more complex.

I'm not sure what you mean by
"...using color codes in your numeric formatting strings, e.g. [red]" Would you provide a simple code example?
