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

Excel tip:

Apply currency format quickly in Excel

To quickly apply the currency format to cell in your spreadsheet, select (highlight) the cells you wish to apply currency format to, then use Ctrl + Shift + $

This will apply a pounds symbol even though the $ key is pressed.
