    Re: biggest value

    Select range, go to Format|Condtional formatting

    Select Formula Is from 1st drop down menu

    Enter formula: =A1=MAX($A$1:$D$100)

    (where A1 is top left most cell you selected and A1:D100 is the entire selected table.)

    Click Format and choose from the Pattern Tab
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    Ok. thanks - it works perfect!
    But I have one more question:

    What if I want to color 3 biggest values? is it possible?

    for example: 1 2 3 4 9 8 4 5 3 2 1
    9, 8 an 5 have different color.

    Use formula instead:

    =A1>=LARGE($A$1:$D$100,3)

    That is because you have a different version of excel that uses semicolons as argument separator.
