    formula to auto change some cells to bold font

    column A has dates of birth ... column B is the student name ... column C-F is address information

    I want a formula that would make the entire row change to bold font for any student whose birth date is before a certain date.

    thanks in advance!

    Use conditional formating something like 'Cell value is' <=$a1

    Where $a1 is the date of birth that differentiates what gets bolded and what doesn't, then format the cells 'bold' if they meet the specified condition.

    Assuming your date is in another cell, such as G1, highlight your table (I'll assume it's A2:F10), go to conditional formatting, in the formula box =$A2<=$G$1. Then, using the formatting tool in conditional formatting, make the font bold.

    Edit: Looks like I'm a hair slow.
