Spreadsheet Sample Assessment

Hi

I'm little confused with this practice assessment and the lecturer from the college hasn't been very helpful so I hope you can help me please?

When it is asking to highlight the highest bids in the ebid file I can't seem to get it to work at all! Can someone give me the steps on how to do this please? I'm using excel 2010.

The answer I got from the lecturer was that conditional formatting is straight forward and you click on it from the styles menu (which I already know!). I'm really panicking in case this comes up in the real exam.

Thanks

    In Excel 2013 you simply highlight all required cells, hit Conditional Formatting and select 'Highlight Cell rules' then 'more rules'.

    This brings up a box in which you can choose your rule (in this case, highlight lowest/highest), and set the formatting you want when the rule is met.

    Thanks for replying.

    When I've tried this its creating a 2 tone effect on the values. Would this be allowed in the assessment?

    I think you just need to change the 'fill' format choice within the settings box (check the tabs along the top of the box), sounds like it's applying a pattern rather than a solid fill.
