I have been unsuccessfully trying to program an Excel
spreadsheet to locate the lowest or highest cell value in
an array by highlighting cell with shading or bolding of
cell data or some other method.

Hi
if your data is in A1:A100 try the following:
- select this range
- goto 'Format - Conditional format'
- enter the following formula (for the maximum value):
=A1=MAX($A$1:$A$100)
- choose a format
- repeat for the minimum value

Try conditional formatting with a formula.

Select the cells, say starting at A1, and in CF put a formula of
=A1=MAX(A1:A100)

Thanks Frank, to further complicate matters I am trying to highlight the
highest/lowest cell value in a row. So each row would require a separate
formula. Is this possible?

Hi
try the following (for a row based formating)
- select your range (e.g. rows A1:X10)
- in the contional format dialog enter the following formula
=A1=MAX($A1:$X1)
- choose a format
..- repeat for the minimum:
=A1=MIN($A1:$X1)
