Hi everyone,

I have been trying to figure out a code that would highlight the two closest values of a range selection. What I mean by this is the two closest values (.9999 and .9998 for example) anywhere in a given range and be the two numbers must be adjacent in the range.

I am very new to VBA and I am having a hard time. I was wondering if anyone knew how to do this?

Thank you in advance for your help.
The idea is to find the 2 closest values in the whole table and highlight them. They can be far appart.

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
A possible solution:
Code:
Sub Closestsss()
Dim DArr(), myRan As String, MaxClos As Long
'
myRan = "K2:K20"    '<<< Value range
MaxClos = 2         '<<< How many highligth
'
ReDim DArr(1 To Range(myRan).Rows.Count)
For i = 1 To UBound(DArr)
    If Range(myRan).Cells(i + 1, 1) <> "" Then DArr(i) = Abs(Range(myRan).Cells(i, 1) - Range(myRan).Cells(i + 1, 1))
Next i
Range(myRan).Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
For i = 1 To MaxClos
    hpos = Application.Match(Application.WorksheetFunction.Small(DArr, i), DArr, False)
    Range(myRan).Cells(hpos, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 2 + i
Next i
End Sub
Lines marked <<< need to be adapted to your situation

Bye
