Join bold and non-bold text in one cell

[bkincaid]

Does anyone know how to combine bold and non-bold text into one cell?
For example, let's say you have a name (Matt) that you want bolded an
a number (10) that you want regularly formatted. You also want to ad
a comma and a space. Your new string would look like this: Matt, 1
(with Matt bolded). I've tried using TEXT and CONCATENATE functions
but I always lose the bold formatting

Take the result of the CONCATENATE() and copy it then paste/special as value.
In this form you can select parts of the string and format them as bold.

You can't change the format using a formula.

If you had the text "Matt, 10" in a cell, then you could edit the cell
and highlight "Matt" and then turn bold on to affect only this part.

Hope this helps.

The only way I know of to format different parts of a string differently,
within the same cell, is to

1. Have a string in the cell (NOT a formula).
2. Select the particular characters you wish to format and format accordingly.

This can also be done using a VBA macro, but you do have to have a string in
the cell.

If you could give more details on how your data is set up, it should be
possible to construct a macro to do this.
