Default Highest 5 numbers in a range turn red

Hi All,


70 people are voting on 15 products tomorrow night in a serious of
rounds.


Each time I'll end up with 15 numbers in a range. Since it will be on
a presentation, it will be nice if the top ones turn red or highlight
somehow.


Top number will change each time, ie. 10 picked the first round, 5 the
next, etc


I think this is a conditional format, but I have no idea how to do
this.


Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks,


Michele


Hi Michele,

If your numbers are in the range A1:A15, selece the range (A1 should be the
active cell) and try to use this formula in the conditional formatting (use
the option "Formula is"):

=A1=LARGE($A$1:$A$15,5)

(I'm not sure of names of menus, options and commands, because
translating from the Italian version of Excel...)

Hope I helped you.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Ciao

Hey, that works great. Thanks.

Since I have to change the number of winners each round, can I put the
# in a cell (A4) and change the last 5 to whatever is in the cell?

But then I actually ended up with 7 red values. That's because there
were two ties. Can I total the number of winners (red values) in the
range in C34? The range is C5 to C32.
