Moving color coded cell with formula

Please Register to Remove these Ads

I am working on a spreadsheet that has 3 columns which are color coded. I want to find the minimum in each row and move it with its color automatically. I know how to use the MIN formula, but how do you move the color with it?

Re: Moving color coded cell with formula

What do you mean moving the minimum? Do you want to highlight the minimum value of each row? If so, select the cells, then click Conditional Formatting - New Rule - use a formula to determine

=A1=(min($A1:$C1)

and set a format

adjust ranges to suit.

Re: Moving color coded cell with formula

I used your formula and it worked for the first row. How do I get it to work for each row? I really wanted to move the hightlighted cell to a different column but don't think that will work.
