Help with Conditional Formatting Please

[Paul Black]

Hi,

I have Two Columns C & D with Data.
The Cells with Data in Column D are Highlighted for MIN in Red and MAX
in Blue.
I would like the Cell in Column C that is to the Left of the Highlighted
MIN Value in Column D to ALSO be Coloured Red, and the Cell in Column C
that is to the Left of the Highlighted MAX Value in Column D to be
Coloured Blue.

Any Help will be Greatly Appreciated.

All the Best.
Paul

Hi,

this will highlight required cells. Change rng1 to suit your data

Dim rng1 As Range, minx As Long, maxx As Long

Set rng1 = Range("D1" & Range("D" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))

minx = rng1.Cells(Application.Match(Application.Min(rng1), rng1, 0)).Row
Cells(minx, "D").Interior.ColorIndex = 3
Cells(minx, "C").Interior.ColorIndex = 3


maxx = rng1.Cells(Application.Match(Application.Max(rng1), rng1, 0)).Row
Cells(maxx, "D").Interior.ColorIndex = 41
Cells(maxx, "C").Interior.ColorIndex = 41

Put in the same formulas in column C as you have in column D - make sure
they refer to column D and not column C.

Paul,

Select column C & D, and in the CF formua, use

=$C1=MAX($C:$C)

and

=$C1=MIN($C:$C)

note the $ signs

Thanks Tom & Bob for the Replies.

I have Tried Both Suggestions But Unfortunately they do Not give me the
Correct Results.
The Formulas I am Using in Conditional Format for Column D are :-

Cell Value is Equal to =Min($D$4:$D$305)
Cell Value is Equal to =Max($D$4:$D$305)

The Values in Column C are NOT Sequential so I think that this might be
Part of the Problem.

Thanks in Advance.
All the Best.
Paul

Bob has given you the correct formulas. Select columns C and D as
instructed. (C1 or D1 should be the activeCell) Then When you go to
format=>Conditional formatting, change the first dropdown from Cell Value is
to Formula is, then enter Bob's first formula. Set the formatting, then add
a formula and repeat

Order has no affect on whether the value of a cell matches a test value.

 

[Tom Ogilvy]

Actually, Bob has given you formulas for the min and max values in column C.
For D as you described, change them to:

=$D1=MAX($D:$D)

and

=$D1=MIN($D:$D)

Thanks Toppers, Tom and Bob,

What I Forgot to Include was the Fact that the Values Started in Cell C4
and Finished in Cell D305.

I Used the Formula :-

Formula is =$D4=MIN($D$4:$D$305)
and
Formula is =$D4=MAX($D$4:$D$305)

Both Work Great Thanks.

All the Best.
Paul
