Default How would I write a max formula that included color formats?

I would like to write a max formula for a range of cells. I want the number
that is the highest in that range (the answer to my formula) to be in blue
font color so that it stands out.

trainer07 -

In some cell enter =MAX(data_range)

Select all cells in the data range, choose Format | Conditional Formatting,
select the "cell value is" and "equal to," point to the cell containing the
maximum, and select the appropriate format.

Select the first cell in the range (A1) then select the range of cells
(A1:A9), check that the first cell remains the active cell,
Format, Conditional Format, Formula is:

=A1=MAX(A$1:A$9)

and set the Pattern required.

Hope this helps
