Highlighting a cell
I'm doing a price comparison on food products from many different companies.
Is it possible to have it automatically highlight the cell that contains the lowest price in it? Or do I just need to do it manually? Thanks! |

Use Conditional formatting.

Use conditional formatting something like this. Switch to Formula is and your
formula will look like =A1=min(A$1:A$10) So if A1 is equal to the smallest value in A1:A10 then it will be formatted... -- HTH...

Hi,
Use Jim's formula in the CF, but select all your data first. Then the CF will be applied to all your data, automatically adjusted to each cell's requirements. Regards - Dave. |
