Default conditional formatting-shading

I am still struggling with this one:

I have values in cells c1,d1,e1,f1,g1
I would like to shade the cell with the lowest value. One or more of the
cells may be blank or have n/a which should be ignored.

I have tried highlighting the cells together and in conditional formatting I
set "formula is" =min(c1:g1) then I select the pattern color. This is not
working. I appreciate any suggestions.

select all the cells, and apply CF with a formula of

=C1=MIN(IF($C$1:$G$10,$C$1:$G$1))

and set pattern as required
