Excel vba font not bold - Word и Excel - помощь в работе с программами

Форматирование текста в ячейке при помощи кода VBA Excel. Объект Font и его основные свойства. Примеры изменения начертания строк в заданном диапазоне.

В этой статье рассмотрены свойства шрифта (объекта Font), определяющие внешнее оформление (начертание) видимого значения ячейки. Это касается не только текста (строк), но и визуального начертания отображаемых дат и числовых значений.

Формат отображаемого значения

Когда мы из кода VBA Excel записываем в ячейку текстовое или другое значение, оно отображается в формате, присвоенном данной ячейке. Это может быть формат:

рабочего листа по умолчанию;
установленный для диапазона пользователем;
примененный к диапазону из кода VBA Excel.

Если ячейка содержит текстовое значение, его начертание можно форматировать по отдельным частям (подстрокам). Такое форматирование доступно как в ручном режиме на рабочем листе, так и из кода VBA Excel.

У объекта Range есть свойство Font (шрифт), которое отвечает за форматирование (начертание) визуально отображаемого текста в ячейках рабочего листа. Его применение вызывает объект Font, который в свою очередь обладает собственным набором свойств, отвечающих за конкретный стиль начертания отображаемого значения.

Свойство	Описание	Значения
Name	наименование шрифта	«Arial», «Calibri», «Courier New», «Times New Roman» и т.д.
Size	размер шрифта	от 1 до 409 пунктов
Bold	полужирное начертание	True, False
Italic	курсивное начертание	True, False
FontStyle	заменяет Bold и Italic	«обычный», «полужирный», «курсив», «полужирный курсив»
Superscript	надстрочный текст	True, False
Subscript	подстрочный текст	True, False
Underline	подчеркнутый текст	True, False
Color*	цвет текста	от 0 до 16777215

*Color — это не единственное свойство, отвечающее за цвет отображаемого текста в ячейке. Оно также может принимать и другие значения, кроме указанных в таблице. Смотрите подробности в статьях Цвет текста (шрифта) в ячейке и Цвет ячейки (заливка, фон).

Примеры форматирования текста

Пример 1
В этом примере ячейкам диапазона «A1:A3» присвоим шрифты разных наименований:

Sub Primer1()

Range(«A1»).Font.Name = «Courier»

Range(«A1») = «Шрифт «Courier»»

Range(«A2»).Font.Name = «Verdana»

Range(«A2») = «Шрифт «Verdana»»

Range(«A3»).Font.Name = «Times New Roman»

Range(«A3») = «Шрифт «Times New Roman»»

End Sub

Пример 2
В этом примере рассмотрим применение одного свойства объекта Font к одной ячейке:

Sub Primer2()

Range(«A5»).Font.Bold = True

Range(«A5») = «Полужирное начертание»

Range(«A6»).Font.FontStyle = «полужирный курсив»

Range(«A6») = «Полужирный курсив»

Range(«A7»).Font.Superscript = True

Range(«A7») = «Надстрочное начертание»

End Sub

Пример 3
Форматирование диапазона из нескольких ячеек:

Sub Primer3()

With Range(«A9:C11»)

.Value = «Форматируем диапазон»

.Font.Underline = True

.Font.Color = 75962

End With

End Sub

Пример 4
Пример форматирования шрифта в разных ячейках по одному свойству:

Sub Primer4()

Cells(1, 1) = «Свойство шрифта Bold = True»

Cells(1, 1).Font.Bold = True

Cells(2, 1) = «Свойство шрифта Color = xlGreen»

Cells(2, 1).Font.Color = xlGreen

Cells(3, 1) = «Свойство шрифта ColorIndex = 32»

Cells(3, 1).Font.ColorIndex = 32

Cells(4, 1) = «Свойство шрифта FontStyle = ««Bold Italic»«»

Cells(4, 1).Font.FontStyle = «Bold Italic»

Cells(5, 1) = «Свойство шрифта Italic = True»

Cells(5, 1).Font.Italic = True

Cells(6, 1) = «Свойство шрифта Name = ««Courier New»«»

Cells(6, 1).Font.Name = «Courier New»

Cells(7, 1) = «Свойство шрифта Size = 14»

Cells(7, 1).Font.Size = 14

Cells(8, 1) = «Свойство шрифта Subscript = True»

Cells(8, 1).Font.Subscript = True

Cells(9, 1) = «Свойство шрифта Superscript = True»

Cells(9, 1).Font.Superscript = True

Cells(10, 1) = «Свойство шрифта Underline = True»

Cells(10, 1).Font.Underline = True

End Sub

Key Notes

To make changes in a font, you need to use the VBA Font object.
There is a total of 18 properties with the font object that you can access and make changes.

VBA Font Object

In VBA, there is a font object which you can use to change properties of the font from a cell, like, font color, font size, font type, and you can also apply bold and italic to the font.

Syntax

expression.font

To use it, first, you need to define the cell address, which you can specify in the following ways.

Selection.Font
Range("A1").Font
Cells(1, 1).Font
Range("A1:A5").Font

To change the color of the font, you have two different ways:

1. Using Color Constants

Excel has a few color constants that you can use to apply color to the font. For example, if you want to apply the red color to the font in cell A1, the code would be like the below:

Range("A1").Font.Color = vbRed

In the above code, after the font object, color is the property and you have used the vbRed constant that tells VBA to apply the red color to the cell A1. There is a total of eight constants that you can use:

vbBlack: Black
vbRed: Red
vbGreen: Green
vbYellow: Yellow
vbBlue: Blue
vbMagenta: Magenta
vbCyan: Cyan
vbWhite: White

2. Using RGB

You can also use the RGB color code to apply color to the font. RGB is the combination of red, green, and blue colors, where you can create a custom color using the code. Let’s say if you want to apply a combination of green and blue color to cell A1 the code would be:

Range("A1").Font.Color = RGB(0, 255, 255)

VBA Font Size

Font object also gives you access to the size property of the font. Let’s say you want to apply the font size of 16 to the font in the cell A1, the code would be:

Range("A1").Font.Size = 16

If you want to apply font size to all cells in a worksheet you can use the following code:

Cells.Font.Size = 16

And if only want to apply font size to cells where you have data, the code would be:

ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Font.Size = 16

Or to the selected cell.

Selection.Font.Size = 16

VBA Font Name

In the same way, you can also change the font name using the name property of the font object. Let’s say you want to apply the “Consolas” font the cell A1. The code would be:

Range("A1").Font.Name = "Consolas"

While using this property, you need to type the correct name of the font that you want to apply, and if somehow the name is incorrect, it won’t show you an error.

VBA Font Bold, Italic, and Underline

There are also properties that you can use to make the font bold, italic, and underline. Below are the codes that you need to write for this.

Range("A1").Font.Bold = True
Range("A1").Font.Italic = True
Range("A1").Font.Underline = True

With these properties, you need to define TRUE or FALSE. So if the font is already bold or italic and you want to remove it, then you need to use FALSE to remove them.

Other Useful Font Properties

Here add a few more properties that can be useful for you (Strikethrough, Subscript, and Superscript).

Range("A1").Font.Strikethrough = True
Range("A1").Font.Subscript = True
Range("A1").Font.Superscript = True

In this article I will explain how you can use VBA to change the bold font property of cells and ranges. I have also provided an example on how to check if a cells has the bold font property on or off.

Jump To:

Basics
Example 1, Set Bold Property
Example 2, Find Cells With Bold Font

You can download the code and file related to this article here.

Basics:

The following line of code makes the font in cell A1 bold:

Range("A1").Font.Bold = True

Range("A1").Font.FontStyle = "Bold"

Before:

After:

The following line of code removes the bold font property:

Range("A1").Font.Bold = False

Range("A1").Font.FontStyle = "Regular"

–

Example 1, Set Bold Property:

In this example there are a set of drop down lists in row 1. Each drop down list has the values “Yes” and “No”. For more information about creating drop down lists in Excel please see Excel VBA Drop Down Lists. If the user selects “Yes” the text in the cell under the drop down list will become bold. If the user selects “No” the bold font style from the cell below the drop down list will be removed. The “Yes”, “No” values for the drop down lists are in sheet 2:

The user can select “Yes” and “No” from the drop down lists:

The cell under the drop down list turns bold:

More bold font:

The program uses a worksheet_change event handler. The event handler executes when the user selects a value from the drop down lists:

'Executes when the user selects a new values from the drop down lists Private Sub worksheet_change(ByVal target As Range) Dim i As Integer For i = 1 To 6 'checks if the Yes property has been selected If Cells(1, i) = "Yes" Then 'changes the font to bold Range(Cells(2, i), Cells(2, i)).Font.Bold = True Else 'removes the bold font property Range(Cells(2, i), Cells(2, i)).Font.Bold = False End If Next i End Sub

The line below changes the font format to bold:

Range(Cells(2, i), Cells(2, i)).Font.Bold = True

The line below removes the bold font format:

Range(Cells(2, i), Cells(2, i)).Font.Bold = False

–

Example 2, Find Cells With Bold Font:

In this example when the user presses the Run button the program will loop through the cells in row 2. If the cell in row 2 has the bold font style the cell above in row 1 will be colored green :

In the figure below the bold font style was removed from cell C2 and the font style in cell B2 was changed to bold. After pressing the run button:

The code below executes when the user presses the run button:

'executes when the user presses the run button Private Sub btnRun_Click() Dim i As Integer 'loops through row 2 For i = 1 To 6 'checks if the font in the cell is bold If Range(Cells(2, i), Cells(2, i)).Font.Bold = True Then 'changes the color of the cell in row 1 to green Range(Cells(1, i), Cells(1, i)).Interior.Color = 3394611 Else 'removes any previous color applied to the content of the cell in row 1 Range(Cells(1, i), Cells(1, i)).Interior.Color = xlNone End If Next i End Sub

The If statement below checks if the font in the cell is bold:

If Range(Cells(2, i), Cells(2, i)).Font.Bold = True Then ... End If

The line below changes the color of the cell in row 1 to green. The number 3394611 is a color code. It was found using the macro recorder. For more information about using the macro recorder please see Excel VBA, Formatting Cells and Ranges Using the Macro Recorder:

Range(Cells(1, i), Cells(1, i)).Interior.Color = 3394611

The line below removes any previous coloring applied to the cell in row 1:

Range(Cells(1, i), Cells(1, i)).Interior.Color = xlNone

VBA Cell Font

In VBA, you can change font properties using the VBA Font Property of the Range Object. Type the following code into the VBA Editor and you’ll see a list of all the options available:

Range("A1).Font.

We will discuss a few of the most common properties below.

Change Font Color

There are a few ways to set font colors.

vbColor

The easiest way to set colors is with vbColors:

Range("a1").Font.Color = vbRed

However, you’re very limited in terms of colors available. These are the only options available:

Color – RGB

You can also set colors based on RGB (Red Green Blue). Here you enter color values between 0-255 for Red, Green, and Blue. Using those three colors you can make any color:

Range("a1").Font.Color = RGB(255,255,0)

ColorIndex

VBA / Excel also has a ColorIndex property. This makes pre-built colors available to you. However, they’re stored as Index numbers, which makes it hard to know what color is what:

Range("a1").Font.ColorIndex = …..

We wrote an article about VBA Color codes, including a list of the VBA ColorIndex codes. There you can learn more about colors.

Bold Font

It is easy to set a cell font to Bold:

Range("A1").Font.Bold = True

or to clear Bold formatting:

Range("A1").Font.Bold = False

Font Name

To change a font name use the Name property:

Range("A1").Font.Name = "Calibri"

Range("A1").Font.Name = "Arial"

Range("A1").Font.Name = "Times New Roman"

Cell Style

Excel offers the ability to create Cell “Styles”. Styles can be found in the Home Ribbon > Styles:

Styles allow you to save your desired Cell Formatting. Then assign that style to a new cell and all of the cell formatting is instantly applied. Including Font size, cell color, cell protections status, and anything else available from the Cell Formatting Menu:

Personally, for many of the models that I work on, I usually create an “Input” cell style:

Range("a1").Style = "Input"

By using styles you can also easily identify cell types on your worksheet. The example below will loop through all the cells in the worksheet and change any cell with Style = “Input” to “InputLocked”:

Dim Cell as Range

For Each Cell in ActiveSheet.Cells
  If Cell.Style = "Input" then
    Cell.Style = "InputLocked"
  End If
Next Cell
