Why not just use the address directly for the activecell?

Select the range (say B12:F92) and with B12 the activecell:
format|conditional formatting
formula is:
=b12=min($b$12:$f$92)

(using the range name would still work and may be easier to decipher later.)

1. Select the range and name it "myrange" (no quotes).
Press Ctrl+F3 or go to Insert Name Define.
2. Go to Format Conditional Formatting.
3. Select "Formula Is" and put:
=INDIRECT("rc",0)=MIN(myrange)
4. Press the "Format" radio button and format as desired.
