Default MAX Conditional Formatting

I'm hoping this is an easy one, but I just can't figure it out. I have a 4
numbers in 4 cells A1:A4. I want to highlight the highest number from that
array using conditional formatting.

Any help is appreciated.

select cells A1 to A4. Then input the following Conditional Formatting
condition:

Formula is: =A1=MAX($A$1:$A$4) exactly as typed (2x = etc)

Pick the highligh you want and press enter

Regards

Trevor

Try using CF with a formula =MAX($A$1:$A$4)

Select A1 - Conditional Formatting

Formula is =IF(MAX($A$1:$A$4)=$A1,1,0)

Copy A1 - Paste Special to A2:A4 - Formats
