    Formula to Check for Font Size

    Hi. I want know if there is a way to see if a certain cell has a specific font size. For instance, I want to say like if A1 is equal to font size 8.5, then keep. Thanks. Pat

    you will need a UDF. Create a module for this function in your spreadsheet:
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    Then =Fontsize(A5) will tell you the fontsize for A5.

    Oops, after posting I see that you have Mac Excel 2008. I don't think that supports VBA. So, there is no Excel function to tell you font size.

    Pat, just a bit of info...excel works with data - numbers/text/dates etc, formatting is a cosmetic change and is not data. Therefore, excel cannot "see" colors, fonts, bolds, underlines etc, you need VBA for that.

    The formatting is just there to make it easier for people (humans, as opposed to PC's) to see things better, excel needs none of that to do it's job
    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
