THANK YOU so much...

Not only did this correct the current problem, but I now understand the
syntax of these arguments...

Again - much appreciation.

Ok, Try these:

J4
Formula Is:
=AND(J4<"",J4=MIN(J4:R4))

K4:R4
Formula Is:
=AND(K4<"",K4=MIN($J4:$R4))

Thanks very much - but it isn't working exactly as I need.

Assuming data range is k4:R4, I need it to only shade the lowest
value(s)
if
the value is less than the value in J4. If no value in the range is <=
to
K4, then shade K4.

Any help is appreciated...

shade J if the price is less than or equal to
any of the values in K through R.

Are you sure you didn't mean less than or equal to *all* of the other
values?

Here's how to do it for *any*:

Assume your data is in the range J2:R10

Select the range J2:J10
Goto the menu FormatConditional Formatting
Formula Is: =COUNTIF(K2:R2,"="&J2)0
Click the Format button
Select the style(s) desired
OK out

Select the range K2:R10
Goto the menu FormatConditional Formatting
Formula Is: =AND(K2<"",K2=$J2)
Click the Format button
Select the style(s) desired
OK out

I have a simple spreadsheet with a value in column J (our price).
Columns
K
through R are the prices our competitors charge for the item. I
need
to
compare column J to the others and shade J if the price is less than
or
equal
to any of the values in K through R.

In addition, I need to shade any value in K through R if it equals
J.

One possible hitch, column J is driven by column F (formula in J is
"=f4)
etc..

Any help would be appreciated. I have read the sections in my Excel
2003
guide on conditional formatting, but not having much luck.

Thanks,

Jon
