I'd like to highlight the max value in each column. Example :
A B C
1 50 12 60%
2 20 84 50%
3 38 20 15%
Here A1, B2, C1 will be highlighted. So I know how to do that for 1 column. I create a custom formula :
=$A:$A=max(A:A)
So if I do that, only the A1 cell will be highlighted. So how can I do that for the other column at the same time without duplicate conditionnal formatting on each column ?
I noticed that the max() function not working on percentage, it doesn't highlight my cell, do you know why ?

Use conditional formatting with the following custom formula:
=B2=MAX(B$2:B$4)
. Change the cell names to suit your use case.B2
indicates the first cell in the selection andB$2:B$4
is first column in this example.Source
