Default Highlight highest / lowest number in a row

Thanks! I did a test, it works but there is some issue that happened.

Column A is for the month.

Say, the month is Jan in cell A1, Feb in cell A2

For some reasons, when I format the date in column A to make them to
display as
Jan 07, Feb 07, Mar 07.. so on.

The condition for highlighting the maximum of the cells got removed.

Leaving the minimum condition that could work.

What can I do to fix that?

Thank you!!

Thanks!

You can do this with conditional formatting.

Suppose that your series is in row 2.
Select cell B2. Format - Conditional Formatting...
Condition 1 - Select Formula Is
- enter formula =B2=MAX(2:2)
- click on Format and select a pattern
Click on Add
Condition 2 - Select Formula Is
- enter formula =B2=MIN(2:2)
- click on Format and select a pattern
Click OK
Select the cell you have just formatted, click the Format Painter button,
apply to whole row.

Hi,


How do you highlight the highest / lowest number in a row?


Example -


Jan - 77.9, 83.5, 88.9, 67.1
Feb - 91.1, 85.9, 73.8, 83.2


How do you make it to highlight 88.9 since it is the highest among row
for Jan
91.1 for Feb?


I may need to highlight for the lowest number as well in other sheets.
