Conditional formatting question

Carl Imthurn

Hi folks --

I've read through a number of the posts on conditional formatting, and I apologize in advance
for not getting the hang of it yet.
Here's my problem: I have a column of ten numbers as follows:

23
2
0
15.2
8
44.3
110
99.5
53.7
110.1

What I want to do is format the low value to appear in RED (0 in this case)
and the high value to appear in BLUE (110.1 in this case).
for what it's worth, the values are in cells F161 to F170.

Thanks in advance --

Carl

In Conditional format for cell F161:

=F161=MAX($F$161:$F$170) set the text colour to blue.

Add a second one

=F161=MIN($F$161:$F$170) and set the text colour to red.

Copy the conditional format to the cells F162 to F170.

That did it -- thanks a bunch!

Select those 10 numbers with cell F161 being the active cell, formulas
are:

=IF(SMALL($F$161:$F$170,1)=F161,1,0) (Red)
=IF(LARGE($F$161:$F$170,1)=F161,1,0) (Blue)

Hope it helps
