I have a column of numbers and want to color highlight the lowest number in
the column. However, I only want to color highlight if there is a clear
"winner". Ties should not activate the color. There is a posted article on
the MS site (article 909845) using an IF statment but it does not allow for
ties. Does anyone know how to do this.

Hi!

Assume the range in question is A1:A10.

=AND(A1=MIN(A$1:A$10),COUNTIF(A$1:A$10,A1)=1)

you can also use "Cell Value is" - "Less Than" - and the following formula

=SMALL($A$1:$A$10,2)
