If I have four cells, and I want the one with the smallest value change
color automatically.

Hi,

Select you 4 cells - in my case A1 - A4 then

Format|Conditional format
Formula is
=A1=MIN($A$1:$A$4)

Pick a colour and click OK

You can:
Select the range (say A1:B2)
format|conditional formatting (xl2003 menus)
formula is:
=a1=min($a$1:$b$2)

and give it a nice format.

Formula Is:

=AND(A1<"",A1=MIN($A$1:$D$1))

I would like to do this same function only I want to grab the three lowest
values. Any ideas?

......A.....B.....C.....D
1..22....15....29...30

=SMALL(A$1:D$1,ROWS(A$1:A1))

Copy down a total of 3 cells.

Note that if there aren't at least N numbers in the range you'll get errors.

This formula makes sure there are enough numbers:

=IF(COUNT(A$1:D$1)=ROWS(A$1:A1),SMALL(A$1:D$1,ROW S(A$1:A1)),"")
