Not exactly - you can only filter an Excel column based on its value, its cell colour, or its font colour.



However, using Find and Replace, you can replace all formatting of a certain type with a filterable version: e.g. replacing all struck through cells with cells with red text. You can then filter on this basis.

    Also you can achieve it by using Excel macros (VBA)
