I have a set of data (5 colums wide 50+ rows down) containing both numbers and text.

I would like to highlight all numbers greater than 5 in red and all lower than 5 in green.

The issue I’m having is it’s highlighting all the cells containing text red, is there a way to ignore the text?

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
for your conditional formatting,
formulas:

red
Code:
=VALUE(E2)>=5
green
Code:
=VALUE(E2)<5

C2=AND(ISNUMBER(A2),A2<5)
D2=AND(ISNUMBER(A2),A2>5)


What happens when A2 = 5 ?, I've assumed no highlight.
