Making a String Bold Font Through Formula Tool

[iannone42]

Hi, I am pretty new to Alteryx and don’t have too much experience yet. I am looking to see if anyone knows of a way to make a string bold font within the Formula tool? I see it can be done through the report Table tool, but I don’t see anything for the Formula tool. 

I am building a pretty simple if statement in the Formula tool that then feeds into the Report Text tool. 

IF IsNull ([Name])

Then Null()

Else “I am: “ + [Name]
EndIf

I know I could bold the whole statement when I put the field onto the Report Text tool but I am trying to get the “I am” part bolded without making the actual [Name] field bold. 

Does anyone know if there is a way for me to make this work? Thanks!

Thank you! I tried this, but the <b><\b> would just become part of the string.

Thank you! I didn't think about breaking the label part from the actual field! Great idea, this worked for me! Thanks again!
