How can I sort data in each row and have the highest value red, the 2nd
highest value blue, 3rd yellow, ect....

For example. I have 30 rows of data with each row containing 10 collumns of
numbers. For each line I would like to have excel sort the values in that
row and change the color of the highest value to blue, second highest to red,
ect.. After this has been preformed, I will be able to look at all of the
values and see a trend which collom is consistantly the highest simply by the
colors of the data.

Please email any ideas to:

Thanks!!!

I am sorry, but where do I enter this formula? Please be detailed. Do I
highlight all of the data in the rows that I want this formula to apply to,
then where do I enter this formula? What feature do I use. Do I enter all
three lines and how do I enter the colors to assign to the various values?

Thanks!

then click on Formatbutton and choose color (red)
click Add
then input =A1=LARGE($A1:$J1,3) in box to the right
