    Excel 2010 ... I need to high the highest, second highest & third highest values in column

    I have a column tracking sales for 30 sales reps and the values will change daily. As we enter in the sales I would like that column with the totals to change background color for cell based on first, second and third highest totals. I have worked with conditional formatted before and found how to do this in Excel 2003 but we have 2010 now and the conditional formatting is totally different and I can't figure out how to do it in this version.

    Can someone walk me through doing this please?

    Re: Excel 2010 ... I need to high the highest, second highest & third highest values in co

    CF formula

    =A1=LARGE(A1:A1000,1) for highest

    =A1=LARGE(A1:A1000,2) for 2nd highest

    Select A1 or first cell in your range,

    CF ==> "Use a formula ...." enter first formula above==>FILL==>colour

    Set Applies to required range e.g A1:A1000

    repeat for other formulae

    Need to lock those ranges

    =A1=LARGE($A$1:$A$1000,1) for highest

    =A1=LARGE($A$1:$A$1000,2) for 2nd highest
