price comparison
hello, i have an invertory worksheet that tracks year round use.
i now would like to compare the prices of an item in a row with the prices of 5 different collums ( companies). i enter the costs of each item in each row of each under the collum of each company. i now have it set up that a seperate colum will show the cheapest price using the "min" funnction.. but i would realy like the cheapest price show up as a different color in it's own colum.. in other words.. the roll of "foil" under competitor 2 is the cheapest so the cell is red with white letters. thank you if any one could help.. john |

You can use Conditional Formatting for this.
Select your entire range of data From the Format Menu, select "Conditional Formatting..." Change "Cell Value Is" to "Formula Is" Enter the formula =A1=MIN($A1:$E1) Set your format (Red background/white font) Click OK My example assumes your data is in columns A through E and starts in Row 1. Adjust the range to meet your needs. The =A1= portion should be the active cell in the range that you select.
