We are keeping our season's softball statisitcs on the head coach's
computer.
We want to higlight a group of stats (i.e. batting average) and have the
highest one with the cell filled in. I've expereimented with several
formulas I've seen here. IT either does not work or we get several cells
highlighted even though they are of different values. Any help would be
appreciated. Thank You.
