    Hi MKA808

    Try =MIN(A2:A50), change the range to suit, or Data > Filter > Autofilter and filter the column containing the data, the lowest number will be top of the drop down list

    Select the range of cells where you want to format the minimum number cell
    Select Format -> Conditional Formating
    In input box choose equal to
    in the next box type =Min(range of cells) (make sure there are no inverted commas in equation)
    Click format and select the format way you want
    Click OK

    =MIN(Range)


    to tag it, select the range and do
    format>conditional formatting formula is and

    =MIN(Range)=A1

    where A1 is the first cell of the range

    Range needs to be a defined name or absolute reference

    I tried what you suggested but and it did insert the formula into the range
    but the format marked all cells in that column.
