Default Highlighting (formatting) 4 lowest cells in a named range todiffernt color

I think you'll have to look at each cell in that my_rng and see if the value in
each is among the smallest 4 values.

Or maybe you could just apply conditional formatting using that rule.

If A1:A10 is my_rng, then you could select A1:A10 and use a conditional format
rule like:

=a1<=small(my_rng,4)

Hi all,
I have a line of code in a macro that reads as follows
Format(Evaluate("=AVERAGE(SMALL(my_rng,{1,2,3,4})) "), "0.00")
This code finds the average of the 4 smallest values in the range and
formats the result as currency. Works fine.
What I would like to do is use a similiar line of code that would
highlight those values in the worksheet.
I am thinking of something like:
Format("SMALL(my_rng,{1,2,3,4})", "Color = 49407")
but I get sytax error with this. thks in advance for any help.
