Change Font Size
 

Is there a way to change the font size in a cell based on results of a given
cell?

Ex....change font size from 10pt to 8pt in cell a5 if cell a1 is 5.

Any help is appreciated

Hi
unfortunately does Excel's Conditional Format (menu Format -
Conditional Format') not allow such changes. So this would require VBA
(using an event procedure such as worksheet_change): See:

But if you like you may try out the following addin which also uses
event codes but is easier to use if you are not that experienced with
event macros:

This would require an event macro. One way:

Put this in your worksheet code module:

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Range("A5").Font.Size = 8 - 2 * (Range("A1").Value 5)
End Sub

If you're not familiar with macros, see David McRitchie's "Getting
Started with Macros":
