Style a text value if a value is present, after a vlookup

users

This fills out the team rosters:
Sheet 1
G16=VLOOKUP($E16,$Teams.$A$12:$I$23,($O$13+1),0)

Sheet 2
Column B2:B9 = team name
Column C2:C9 = captain name

What I would like to do is bold the capt name for each team.
How would you go about doing this (automatically)?
How do you style a element based on a range with a IF statement?

I'm, not sure I understand your general problem, but ...

How do you style a element based on a range with a IF statement?

You may find the STYLE() function useful - something like:
=<expression>&T(STYLE(IF(condition;<style-name>;<alternative-style-name>)))
The condition is evaluated and the appropriate style name returned to the STYLE() function, which applies that style to the cell. The STYLE() function itself returns the value zero; to avoid this being appended inappropriately to the result of <expression> (which is what you want to see in the cell), the T()function is used. This returns an empty string for numerical arguments.

If you want the style to depend on the result of <expression> (i.e. the value in the cell itself), you can use something like:
=<expression>&T(STYLE(IF(CURRENT()=<value>;<style-name>;<alternative-style-name>)))

I trust this helps.

I messed with this for a while and just made a mess of it. I think I can do
without the styling for now.

Thanks
