Syntax for Conditional Formats
 

Hi,

I'm using subtotals. I want the value that is the result of the subtotal to
be bold. Can you help me with the syntax I use in the conditional formating
dialogue box.
As the cell next to the cell containing the text "ABC Sub Total ", say D20,
is empty, using a formula a long the lines of "if d20="". Normally column D
contains values, so I could copy the conitional fomating down the sheet and
only the sub total values would appear as bold.

Thanks for looking
Paul

Hi Paul

If it is only the subtotal rows hat contain formulae, select one cell on the
worksheet, press F5 , select "Special" and then "Formulae" from the dialog
box.. You can then apply bold formatting to those selected cells.

This might work ..

Assume the cells containing text such as: "ABC Sub Total " are in col A,
with the values sub-totalled in the adjacent col B

Select column B
Click Format Cond Formatting
Under Cond1, use:
Formula is| =ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Sub Total",A1))
Format to taste OK out
