    Re: If formula

    Louisa, hoe gaan dit daar in Ptown?

    1. formulas work on data, and color and font is cosmetic, not data, so a regular formula will not be able to ID grey or italic.
    2. How is that color and font being applied? If manually, then you will need VBA. If though Conditional Formatting, then perhaps that same logic can be applied.
    3. To best describe/show your problem, upload a small (clean) sample workbook (not a pic) of what you are working with, and what your expected outcome would look like.
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Regards
