How to Bold the Highest Value in Excel
There are several ways to highlight the highest value in Excel, depending on whether you want to highlight the highest value in a column, a row, or the entire range.
Here are some methods you can try:
To highlight the highest value in a column, you can use conditional formatting with the option “Format only top or bottom ranked values”. You can specify the number of values you want to highlight, and choose a fill color for them. For example, if you want to highlight the highest value in column B, you can select the data range B2:B10, then click Home > Conditional Formatting > New Rule > Format only top or bottom ranked values > Top > 1 > Format > Fill > Green > OK > OK. This will highlight the highest value in column B with green color.
To highlight the highest value in each row, you can use conditional formatting with a custom formula. The formula should compare each cell in the row with the maximum value in the row, and return TRUE if they are equal. For example, if you want to highlight the highest value in each row from C2 to E8, you can select the data range C2:E8, then click Home > Conditional Formatting > New Rule > Use a formula to determine which cells to format > =C2=MAX($C2:$E2) > Format > Fill > Green > OK > OK. This will highlight the highest value in each row with green color.
To highlight the highest value in the entire range, you can use conditional formatting with a custom formula. The formula should compare each cell in the range with the maximum value in the range, and return TRUE if they are equal. For example, if you want to highlight the highest value in the range B2:E8, you can select the data range B2:E8, then click Home > Conditional Formatting > New Rule > Use a formula to determine which cells to format > =B2=MAX($B$2:$E$8) > Format > Fill > Green > OK > OK. This will highlight the highest value in the range with green color.
