Conditional Format =max Function
I want to highlight the highest value in a row accross multiple columns, every other column contains the value I want to reference to obtain the MAX value: A B C D E S1 20 50% 30 70% S2 30 60% 40 30% I want to highlight the 70% because it is higher than the 20% and for store 2 I want to highlight the 60% because it is higher than 30%. I want to disregard the values in column B and D. -- JR573PUTT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JR573PUTT's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=31587 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=515862 |

Try selecting C1:Cxx and hit ctrl while you select E1:Exxx (so that you have
both columns in the range selected). Then with E1 the activecell format|conditional formatting Formula is: =E1=MAX($C1,$E1) Excel will adjust the column and row references for each cell in that selection. Give it a nice shade.

=MAX(IF(MOD(COLUMN(B1:M1),2)=1,B1:M1))
which is an array formula, it should be committed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, not just Enter. -- HTH Bob Phillips (remove nothere from email address if mailing direct) "JR573PUTT" wrote in message ...

It worked ok for me. Make sure you write the formula with respect to the
activecell. JR573PUTT wrote: DAVE, The process worked for the first Row, and some random rows below, but not all rows??

I assume that this is now in A1:F5
I selected B1:B5 ctrlclick on D1:D5 ctrlclick on F1:F5 So F1 was my activecell. format|conditional formatting Formula is: =F1=MAX($B1,$D1,$F1) And I gave it a nice shade. D1, D2, F3, F4 and B5 were shaded.

You could have tried Bob's suggestion to avoid the clicking.
