Highlight a lowest cell in the row

Hi,

How can i highlight the lowsest price/cell in the row but for entire spread sheet? I don't want to do this one row at the time as it takes ages but if i highlight more than one row it will give me the lowest price in all those rows.

Many thanks,
Konrad

RE: highlight a lowest cell in the row

Hi Konrad, thanks for your query. Select all your numbers (my range will be from B1 down to D4)

Go to Home - Conditional Formatting - New Rule

Use a formula to determine which cells to format

=B1=MIN($B1:$D1)

Build the highlight format you need then apply it.

Note there is a bug in the software and you may need to go back into the rule (via Conditional Formatting, Manage Rules, Edit Rule) to reapply the formula - Excel changes the parameters behind your back!

Hope this helps,

Anthony
