You can use the same criteria as the conditional formatting criteria

thanks for your information.

However I already use up 3 CF criteria, the criteria I setup is

1- $A1=" " format text to bold
2- $A1=1 format text to color blue & italic
3-$A1="xx" format text to red & italic

what I need to count only the bolded text..

I don't know if there is a formula / function that you can use for that. At
least I couldn't find one. However, you could use VBA code/macro to
accomplish this.

Try the below code.

Sub CountCellsBoldFormatting()
Dim X As Integer
X = 0
For Each Cell In Range("A1:A10")
If Cell.Font.Bold = True Then
X = X + 1
End If
Next Cell
MsgBox "There were " & X & " cells with bold formatting."
End Sub

Change the range to whatever your range is. You could also display the
answer in another cell rather than in a message box if you so choose.

Hope this helps.

I have try your VBA code, but it only work on the nornal format cell in
bold, it does not work on conditional formatting satituation....

For my curiosity, in your VAB code, how to display the answer in another
cell..

thanks again

Don's response is correct. Use a COUNTIF() function and use the same
criteria you used for conditional formatting. For this purpose, though,
you're putting it into a cell, not into conditional formatting

Use this code to put the answer in cell A11.

Sub CountCellsBoldFormatting()
Dim X As Integer
X = 0
For Each Cell In Range("A1:A10")
If Cell.Font.Bold = True Then
X = X + 1
End If
Next Cell
ActiveSheet.Range("A11").Value = X
End Sub

Perhaps you could adjust the code to get what you are after. Instead of
If Cell.Font.Bold = True Then use
If Cell.Value = " " Then

This way you are checking for the value that would make the text bold.
By the way if " " was in a cell you wouldn't be able to see the bold anyway.
Maybe I'm not understanding properly.

Hope this helps.
