Highlight Five Values With Conditional Formula

B

Brian Priebe

Hello,

I have a spreadsheet in which column C contains various percentages of change from the values in columns A and B. I need a conditional formula which will highlight the five greatest percentages of negative change, meaning I want to know easily which five percentages are the most negative.

EXAMPLE:

A B C
1 OLD NEW %CHANGE
2 85.00 72.00 -15.29%
3 80.20 20.00 -75.06%
4 40.00 51.00 27.50%
5 72.00 63.25 -12.15%
6 43.00 41.00 -4.65%
7 65.00 59.50 -8.46%
8 67.50 54.50 -19.26%
9 60.12 51.00 -15.17%

So, in this example, cells C2, C3, C5, C8, and C9 would need to be highlighted because they have the most significant percentage of negative change.

Thank you for your help.
