Hi & welcome to MrExcel.
If the cell has a formula, then you cannot change the format of part of the cell.

How about this,

Unit$Output
100$100100
($1,000)
200$200200
($2,000)
300$300300
($3,000)
400$400400
($4,000)

VBA Code:
Sub Font_Bold_Changes()
With Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("H2:H5")
    .Characters(1, 3).Font.Bold = True
End With
End Sub

As fluff said, this can be achieved post it changes to values.

That will not work if the cell has a formula, which is what the OP is showing.

Yes, Fluff. I totally agree with you. I just mentioned the note under the code that this can be achieved post it changes as values which i have given as an additional info.

Thank you very much! I can paste values in another column and use this. I appreciate you both!
