    conditionally color font of formula result

    I have a list of clients, some of them with additional info. I'd like the additional info to by greyed out (the semicolon controls this):

    Client 1 name; Additional info
    Client 2 name; Additional info

    BUT
    the text is a formula result. I mean the clients are listed in data-sheet but presented in report-sheet.

    Can this be done?

    Short answer, no.
    If posting code please use code tags, see here.

    Well it's not very long and now I come to think of it might not be suitable.

    Basically, you could use code to copy/paste special values to get rid of the formulas and then format the values as required.

    Ok, I may try it this way one day. But it looks like a lot of work.
    Thank you, Norie

    Re: conditionally color font of formula result

    What formatting is it you want to apply?

    If it's as simple as that in your first post it shouldn't be too complicated.

    Yes, the formatting should look like the example in my first post.

    Try adapting this macro

    Rather than overwriting your formulae this puts the result in a seperate column
