Retaining the formatting of a cell

[kbrock129]

I'm a newbie learning as I go... I apologize if I'm using the wrong language here.

I am creating a worksheet that uses a series of if formulas to determine the correct cell to use in a table outside the printing/viewing area. Something along the lines of "if X, Y, and z happens then use what is in cell AY34". I have the formula working, so I can get it to go pick up what is in the cell I want.

The problem I am having is that there is a heading to the text in cell AY34 that is bold, but the rest of the text in the cell is not bold. Is there any way to drag the formatting along with the data and not just the values?

Thanks for any help you can offer!

No. A formula can only return a result, not formatting.

Hope this helps.
