I have to search comments and look for a keyword (i.e. broke). The user wants to create an excel report with the keyword highlighted. I can do this when the report is created in html, but not excel. Any ideas on how to only highlight a keyword within comments varchar(2000)?

You're not going to be able to do it with any stylesheets, but you could "fool" it into displaying a string as bold, colored, etc. using HTML tags. Excel knows what to do with them.

Try doing a string replace of the keyword, replacing it with <b>keyword</b>. Like

COMPUTE H_COMMENT/A2200=STRREP(200,COMMENT,7,'keyword',14,'<b>keyword</b>',2200,H_COMMENT);


And then include

ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET ONLINE-FMT EXL2K

Last time -

it displays starting 'bold' html tag, then the keyword, then the ending html bold tag.

It doesn't actually bold the keyword. If I paste the contents of the cell here, it will display as bold, because it's resolving the html tags.

use a very simple template /macro

Write your keyword into a cell in your output in your HEADING (for example cell A1)

Create an Auto_Open or Workbook_Open macro in your template

xlEqual means it must be an exact match for content but not case.

Cells.Select
Selection.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlCellValue, Operator:=xlEqual, _
Formula1:="=$A$1"
With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Font
.Bold = True
.Italic = False
.ColorIndex = 4
End With
Range("A1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
