Guidance/Help to Highlight Cell contentts Based on Min/Max
Today, I went shopping for best price for a gallon of heating oil, and
poked the quoted prices for 200, 300, 400, and 500 gallons planned
purchase into my existing XLS spreadsheet.
Today's collected data is organized like this:
Col A Col B Col C Col D Col E Col F
Col G Col H Col I Col J Col K
Row1 Vendor Phone # blank 200 200 Cost 300
300 Cost 400 400 Cost 500 500 Cost

Row22 BEST $ Price: 3.349 3.349
3.349 3.349
I have identified the best quoted price using the formula:
=MIN(D2:D17) which is copied into F22, H22, and J22.
Should I "NAME" the cell(s) that contains the BEST $ Price result,
because sometime in the future I most likely will want to do some
charting based on the collected data, since I track the same vendors
when shopping for best available heating fuel price based on quantity
of purchased gallons?
Is there a function that I could use to locate and highlight the
cell(s) that contain the BEST $ Price value(s)? In this particular
shopping instance, there is more than one cell that contains the "Best
$ Price" result. The highlighting can be a blinking cell or a choosen
color or perhaps change the font size/make bold for the target cell to
one that is larger than all others.
I hope that the above displays properly. This is my first attempt at
posting this info to the NG. Thanks.
