    Assuming the cells you want to color are A2:A100

    1) Select cells A2:A100
    2) Apply these conditional formatting settings:

    -Use a formula
    =ISNUMBER(A2)
    Format ... bold (and choose color)

    Yes it is possible.

    Select the whole column and press ALT->O->D
    You will get conditional formatting window -> New Rule->select use a formula to determine which cell to format->put formula =NOT(ISBLANK(A1))-> then click format and format the cell as you want.

    That's it.

    Hope it will help you

    Hi BRout,

    It is easier than you think, follow the images below to do what you need to do:

    NOTE: Make sure that Cell A1 is written as A1 and not $A$1 or will only be effective for that cell, you can put in whatever reference you want however make sure that you enter the upper left cell that you want the formatting to apply to, Excel will automatically adjust for each cell.

    ConF2.jpg

    adjust the settings on the second column to the range of cells you want to have the formatting. (In the example I have put A1 through to H100, but you may well have a smaller or larger area you want to cover.

    Re: How to make one cell bold & color ????

    Perhaps =and(isnumber(A2),A2>1) as condition

    I Shukla your formula would need to be:

    =AND(NOT(ISBLANK(A1),A1>=1)

    The ISNUMBER condition is essential. Check your formula and you will see that a text string passes the test, therefore your solution might lead to errors ( especially in the case where a cell contains a null text string ("")

    Why? Because before comparing values of cell contents, XL first compares their TYPE ( see that function). TYPE("text") returns 2 while TYPE ( number) returns 1.

    So, if for any reason a cell contains text, it is always considered larger than a cell containing a number.

    If the return of TYPE is the same, then XL will compare values as required in this case

    (Don't ask why MS works this way. I can only say that in other suites like Libreoffice it is not the case)
