Assume the numbers are in column A. Use conditional formatting, and in the first box
select Formula Is. Use this formula: =A2=MAX($A$2:$A$10000), and set the formula to font
color red.

$10000 should be large enough that your data won't extend below that row.

In an Excel 2007 spreadsheet I have a column of numbers that is incremented

may change from month to month -- appear in read not black. How do I write a
formula to do that, or how otherwise do I do it?
