Excel 2003
In a column of numbers, I want to highlight (bold) the first number, and
only the first number, over 200.
What formula do I use in conditional formatting?

Thanks,

I selected column D and with D1 the activecell, I used this formula:

=AND(ISNUMBER(D1),COUNT($D$1:D1)=1)

if it is in column A starting at row 1

Cell A1
=if(countif((A$1:A1),"200")=1,true,false)
the copy this conditional formula to the rest of the column.
Use the Paint brush on the tool bar to copy conditional formats.
Highlight first cell with conditional format, press paint brush, highight
rest of column

Or, presumably, just =countif(A$1:A1,"200")=1 ?

I missed the part about 200.

I'd use:
=AND(ISNUMBER(D1),D1200,COUNTIF($D$1:D1,"200")=1 )

I'd check it again.

Put 201 in A1
and any number smaller than 200 in A2:a5

Another one:

Range of interest = A10:A20

=A10=INDEX(A$10:A$20,MATCH(1,--(A$10:A$20200),0))

Assumes no text entries in the range
