neither worked.

first one, changed nothing

second one, only changed L4 to red and that one wasn't the max number

I tried
formula is =L4=max(L4:L20)
changes everything to red except for the lowest value

Use the above but change the formula to:

=L4=max($L$4:$L$20)

Have 3 columns, L M N which display percentage results based on values
entered in other columns (cells in columns contain count formulas)
In these columns I want the max result to highlight in different color

I tried
cell value is - equal to - =max(L4:L20)
but does nothing

I tried
formula is =L4=max(L4:L20)
changes everything to red except for the lowest value
