    Formula That Recognizes Bold or Underline

    Is there a formula that I can use to tell me how many cells in a range are either bold or underlined?

    Not a standard Excel function that I know of. It may be possible using old Excel 4.0 macros, failing that it would need a custom VBA function.

    Use code tags when posting your VBA code: [code] Your code here [/code]

    Some would argue that storing data in a format is not the proper method anyway. If your formatting is supposed to convey a certain meaning, then that meaning should be stored in a seperate column (either as text or a number) so that sorting, filtering, counting, averaging, etc. can be applied. For presentation purposes you may need to hide this extra column and use conditional formatting to preserve the look of the underlined/bolded text.
