Hi

I have a data in a 96 by 64 field. Every cell in this field contains data.
How can I find the 10 biggest and smalles Values and then maybe select them
or change the
Background Colour or do any other change of the font?

Thanks

You can probably achieve this with conditional formatting.

If you select the range and then go to conditional formatting and select
Fomula is
=RANK(E3,$A$1:$BL$96,1)<=10
Select the required format.

Enter a second condition where formula is
=RANK(E3,$A$1:$BL$96,0)<=10
and select format for largest ten.

Thanks for the info

I looked it up and the "ref" in your Example "E3" is the problem. I would
have to do this rank function for every cell. I was looking for a faster way
to do it. Do you (or anybody) have other Ideas?

Assuming my range starts at cell E3 I select the whole range so that E3 is
still the activecell. Then enter the conditional format as posted and Excel
will automatically change the E3 to reference each cell in the range.

Your code produces in my worksheet a circular reference.

I just tried to get the rank function in VBA. That produced major problems.
In the moment that looks not promising. VBA was not able to use the rank
function.

Hi,
Conditional Format.....assuming range is A1:CR64 then in cell A1 put
the conditional format..

A1<=SMALL($A$1:$CR$64,10) for the smallest 10 and
A1=LARGE($A$1:$CR$64,10) for the largest 10...

and whatever format you want of course...this will colour the relevant
cells...

Hth,
Oli

Since you don't seem enamored with conditional formatting and you posted in
programming, here is some code that might help.

Change Range("A1") to the upper left corner of your range.

Sub MarkTheCells()
Dim rng as Range, rng1 as Range
Dim l as Double, s as Double
Dim cell as Range
set rng = range("A1").Resize(96,64)
rng.interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
l = application.Large(rng,10)
s = application.Small(rng,10)
for each cell in rng
if isnumeric(cell) and _
not isempty(cell) and cell.Text < "" then
if cell.Value = l then
cell.interior.colorIndex = 5
elseif cell.Value<= s then
cell.Interior.colorIndex = 3
end if
end if
Next
End Sub

Thanks Tom,
that was what I was looking for. I made the necessary changes for my case
and it worked instantly.
When this Sub found a Cell to be within the top 10. How can I dereive the
information in which Cell (Row / Col) this happened?

the object Cell holds the information at the time when it colors the cell.

Sub MarkTheCells()
Dim rng as Range, rng1 as Range
Dim l as Double, s as Double
Dim cell as Range
set rng = range("A1").Resize(96,64)
rng.interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
l = application.Large(rng,10)
s = application.Small(rng,10)
for each cell in rng
if isnumeric(cell) and _
not isempty(cell) and cell.Text < "" then
if cell.Value = l then
cell.interior.colorIndex = 5
cell.Select
msgbox "Large Cell found at " & cell.Address
elseif cell.Value<= s then
cell.Interior.colorIndex = 3
cell.Select
msgbox "Small Cell found at " & cell.Address
end if
end if
Next
End Sub

the select and msgbox are for example since I don't know what you want to do
with the information.

Hi Tom,

I tried to adopt your code in order to process several worksheets but I
encountered problems with setting the rangen and the application.large
function. I havn't found any information on this so I don't have a clue what
to change in order to process several worksheets.
I tried it like this but it's not working: (Do you know why?)

Sub MarkTheCells(SelRange As Range, worksheetname As String)
Dim l As Double, s As Double
Dim cell, SortRange As Range
Dim pos As Integer
Dim CellRow, CellCol As Long


pos = 0
SelRange.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
l = Application.Large(SelRange, 10)
s = Application.Small(SelRange, 10)
For Each cell In SelRange
If IsNumeric(cell) And _
Not IsEmpty(cell) And cell.Text < "" Then
If cell.Value = l Then
CellRow = cell.Row
CellCol = cell.Column
cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
Worksheets(worksheetname).Range("A1").Offset(20 + pos, 4).Value =
cell.Value
Worksheets(worksheetname).Range("A1").Offset(20 + pos, 3).Value =
Range("A1").Offset(CellRow - 1, 0).Value
Worksheets(worksheetname).Range("A1").Offset(20 + pos, 2).Value =
Range("A1").Offset(0, CellCol - 1).Value
pos = pos + 1
ElseIf cell.Value <= s Then
cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 5
End If
End If
Next



End Sub
