My long list of data has numbers in Column A, but in random rows. How can a macro be written to find a number in Column A and then bold the corresponding data in that row?

I know if I record my actions as a macro it's not going to work. Any help or code would be really appreciated.

Many thanks

Michael

Hadn't thought of CF. Tried it and it worked. – RocketGoal Jun 28 '10 at 10:52

Can't you just select the entire column by clicking the column name and then press ctrl+b? Or does the column have mixed content types?

Not all the rows in Column A have numbers, and it's only those that with numbers that I need to make bold. – RocketGoal Jun 28 '10 at 10:41
