Formating

how can i easily make all subtotal totals bold without having to do it on each column + same for pivot tables subtotals

RE: formating

Hello Jo
Thank you for your question

You could use the conditional formatting tool. I have attached an example workbook to make it clearer. You will need to have to word total or subtotal in the first column on correct row. Then highligh both columns and go to Format, Conditional Formatting and in the drop down list choose 'Formula is.' In the box next to it write the following formula:

=RIGHT($A1,5)="Total"

Click OK and this should bold any total rows automatically.

If this resolves your question, please mark it as resolved. If not, please reply with more information.

Kind regards
Cress

Excel tip:

Turn Function tooltips on and off

Excel 2002 (XP) and Excel 2003 have the Function tooltips facility. When you type in a function name followed by a bracket, for example, =IF(, a yellow box appears beside the function name and lists the function's arguments. This is very useful when you can't quite remember the order of a function's arguments or what the arguments actually are!

However, Function tooltips can become annoying. To turn them off, choose Tools|Options. and select the General tab. Then, untick the Function tooltips box and choose OK.
