OpenOffice Calc - Highlighting the higest value in a column
Solution 1
You should use MAX($D$1:$D$4)
instead, in your condition.
To highlight the whole row, you can select Formula is
instead of Cell value is
, and use the following formula: $D4=MAX($D$2:$D$4)
(assuming you selected your block starting from A1 and ending in D4):
Solution 2
You want to test whether a value is MAX Highlight A1:D4
=IF($D2=MAX($D$1:$D$4),1,0)
This highlights the row, make sure to use the $D2 not D2 or $D$2 so the formula adjusts correctly for the range

So I've got this spreadsheet open using OpenOffice Calc (ver 3.3.0) and its set up a little like this:
A B C D 1.name quantity price total 2.foo 10 10 100 3.bar 20 6 120 4.red 30 7 210
Each cell in the "total" column is obtained by multiplying the two cells to the left of it, and what I'm trying to do is to get it so that Calc highlights the highest value in the total column (even better if it could highlight the entire row). I've tried using MAX(D1:D4) in the Conditional Formatting section, but it highlights multiple values. How do I get it to highlight just the highest value?
