Conditional Formatting Recognizing Greatest Value

[JR573PUTT]

I am trying to apply a conditional format to a range of weeks, I want
the week with the greatest build percent highlighted:


store wk1 wk2 wk3
1 -32% 50% 75%
2 -20%30% 40%

I would like store 1's week 3 highlighted and store 2's week 3
highlighted because these weeks represent the highest percent build.

Can I use a conditional format or is there another way to highlight the
greatest value?

While In Cell B2, go to Format Conditional Formatting and
select Formula Is and in Text box enter:

=B2=MAX($B2:$D2)
choose Pattern Color,
And OK out

With B2 as the source Paint it
and paint the other cells C2,D2,B3,C3.D3

Use the MAX function in the CF.

Assuming your array is A13. In B2, apply the following CF.

Formula is: =B2=MAX($B2:$D2) apply your format.

Use the format painter to apply this to your other cells. It will not
change the MAX range when applied left to right but it will as you move
up or down.

The highest build value in the worksheet is not highlighted using thi
formula

 

[SteveG]

I assume that you want the 75% for store 1 and the 40% for store
correct? When you enter the formula, be sure that your range has the
in front of it as it is shown in both posts. If you do not, your C
will not apply correctly when copying it to the other cells using th
format painter. If you have more weeks, you have to extend your rang
to include those weeks as well.

Does that help?

No, the range of weeks is correct, when I go to say cell z2, the
conditional format is =z2=max($e2:$az2).

But the highest value is not highlighted, I have check my formatting to
assure a highlight will appear, and it is correct.

Ok, I figured it out, I had a hidden column in between each of the build
columns, when I deleted those colums(which I do not want to) the formula
works, so the spread sheet is:


store saleswk1 buildwk1 sales wk2 build wk2
1 20 30% 50 80%


I want to be able to highlight the 80% based only on columns with the
build formula and not the sales column.
