    Large Data Help

    Hello,

    I have a large data 45900 rows and 5 columns of number. I want to find the biggest number in each row and highlight each of the number from highest to lowest. (with different colors)
    Is there a way to do it? I can't attach the excel file because it is 1.9 MB and the system only allows 1 MB.
    Thank you

    Re: Large Data Help

    Each cell needs 5 conditions, one for each colour
    Determine your 5 colours from highest to lowest, e.g. RED (highest) to BLUE (lowest)

    Select A1

    Conditional Formatting
    New Rule
    Use a formula to determine...

    =(RANK(A1,A1:E1)=1)
    format as RED

    =(RANK(A1,A1:E1)=2)
    format as required

    =(RANK(A1,A1:E1)=3)
    format as required

    =(RANK(A1,A1:E1)=4)
    format as required

    =(RANK(A1,A1:E1)=5)
    format as BLUE

    Use Format painter (paintbrush icon) to copy to other cells

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    Hello. Thank you for the answer. I did it, and the rule is applied only first row. I am trying format painter but it doesn't work. It swaps the number in the first row, when I drag it down.
