If I have a colunm of numbers, can I conditionally format to highlite the
smallest value in the colunm?

Try this:

Assume your numbers are in the range A1:A5
Select the range A1:A5
Goto FormatConditional Formatting
Formula Is: =AND(A1<"",A1=MIN(A$1:A$5))
Click the Format button
Select the style(s) desired
OK out

Biff:

Thanks for your reply. This didn't work for me. My Range is actually J6:J22
so I substituted:

=AND(J6<"",J6=MIN(J$6:J$22))

Does it make a difference if the values in the cells are dirived from a
formular,
<<< =IF(D6=0,0,((C6/(D6*2))+G6))

Hi

Did you do as Biff said and SELECT the range first?
In your case select J6:J22, then apply the Conditional Formatting with
Biff's formula.

Sometimes I need to be slapped across the head with a 2 x 4.

Yes indeed, I needed to highlite the cells first. That did work.

Roger and Biff:

It appears that that isn't exactly what I wanted to do. Instead of the Range
being J6:J22 I actually need to use a group of cells. J6 & J29 & J53 & J77

Should I use the same formula and just deliniate my cells with a method
other than a colon?

Yes, use a formula of

=A1=MIN(A:A)
