    locate highest value in Col

    hi there, I have a column of percentages, like below:

    35
    67
    93
    24
    34
    93
    85
    67
    29

    I need Excel to highlight the highest one. In my example then Excel would highlight both of the 93's. Is there a formula for this that I could use in a conditional format?

    Kindest regards,
    Martin.

    Hi,

    Sorry about that select A1 and apply CF to it, then use the paintbrush icon to apply to the other cells

    =A1=MAX($A$1:$A$10)

    Thumbs up

    Sweet thanks I got it to work. Since I have a formula already in A1 I couldnt paint the cells. So I painted them before selecting the CF and it worked using your formulas...Thanks again.
