Set smallest cell in row,col as BOLD

[a]

I want to have a macro that will set the smallest number in a row (or
in a column) of selected text to BOLD. For example, with A1 = 1,B1 =
2, C1 = 3, D1 = 4 I want the macro to set Cell A1 to be bolded.

Art,
This macro will conditional format the selected range to make minimum value
bold.

Sub BoldMinimum()

Selection.FormatConditions.Delete
Selection.FormatConditions.Add _
Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:= _
"=" & ActiveCell.Address(0, 0) & _
"=Min(" & Selection.Address & ")"
With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Font
.Bold = True
.Italic = False
End With

End Sub

These two subs will apply conditional formatting on the either the selected
column or row to accomplish what you requested. Much later than Cecil, but
I spent so much time I had to at least send them off! If you add to the row
or column, you will need to re-run to extend the formatting to these cells.

Sub format_col()

Dim last_col As Long
Dim col_range As Range

last_col = Selection.Column
Set col_range = Range(Cells(1, last_col), Cells(Cells(Rows.Count,
last_col).End(xlUp).Row, last_col))
With col_range
.FormatConditions.Delete
.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlCellValue, Operator:=xlEqual,
Formula1:="=MIN(" & col_range.Address & ")"
.FormatConditions(1).Font.Bold = True
End With

End Sub

Sub format_row()

Dim last_row As Long
Dim row_range As Range

last_row = Selection.Row

Set row_range = Range(Cells(last_row, 1), Cells(last_row, Cells(last_row,
Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column))
With row_range
.FormatConditions.Delete
.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlCellValue, Operator:=xlEqual,
Formula1:="=MIN(" & row_range.Address & ")"
.FormatConditions(1).Font.Bold = True
End With

End Sub
