But you want 5 criteria and the maximum is 3 (until you get XL2007) So you will need a macro, see http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/excel-cond...ting-limit.htm best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "Sarah" wrote in message ... Hi there, I have a column of data that changes regularly. I want to set up conditional formatting whereby the top 5 datapoints show up in a different color to the others. I think I have to use Rank for this but am not sure how? Thanks! |
