Conditional formatting on several colomns

Hello community!!

 

I have a huge range of data. I need to put in red the MIN of each column. I can do this for one column. But how to do this for the whole range of data? (without doing it one column by one column of course)

 

thanks a lot for your help

best

    After you select the columns, just create a new rule with the formula.

    If the columns start from B to H, then select only these columns and change the formula as follows:

    =B1=MIN(B:B)

      hello Haytham Amairah 

       

      I know this looks trivial but could you describe step by step how you do this? 

       

      or with a small capture?

       

      would be really nice

      (do you use macro?)

      🙂

      hello Haytham Amairah 

      thanks for your quick answer.

      I'm trying this right now. 
      at first, it seems like random results but I should be doing this wrong.

      Trying again.

      hello Abiola1 

      yes sure (note that this is for the MAX but I guess the logic behind is the same)

        Assume you wanna apply New Rule from B2:H100.

        1. Select from cell B2:H100.
        2. In the CF, select use a formula to determine which cell to format
        3. Type in the formula in the box below.
        =MIN($B2:$100)=50
        4. Click on the Format to setup your formatting such as Bold
        5. Click OK

        All the values that equal to 50 within the selected columns will have the rule applied
