    Hi Apiedup and welcome to the forum,

    I think you are looking for the Max() and Min() functions like this:
    =MAX(C3:C12)
    =MIN(C3:C12)
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.

    As @MarvinP has pointed out the MAX and MIN functions should serve you well here. You could also use the LARGE and SMALL functions if you ever want nth largest/smallest number in a range.

    As for conditional formats, they have a built in set for top/bottom. Home | Conditional Formatting | Top/Bottom Rules | Top 10 Items. Adjust the number to 1 if you like for top and set desired format. Same for bottom, but pick Bottom 10 Items and adjust number and format.
