I would like to seek some help on the problem that I'm facing. I'm trying to highlight the lowest value in the sheet for each row based on selected columns, i.e. iot1, iot2, iot3. If you see the before and after image below, I would like to get some assistance on how to highlight the lowest (minimum) value. Thank you very much, any assistance is much appreciated!

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.

Without the benefit of being able to see your pictures, I guessed at the following possible macro solution for you to try...
Code:
Sub HighlightLowNumbersPerRowForSelectedColumns()
  Dim R As Long, LastRow As Long, Min As Double, Cell As Range
  LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
  For R = 1 To LastRow
    Min = Application.Min(Intersect(Selection, Rows(R)))
    For Each Cell In Intersect(Selection, Rows(R))
      If Cell.Value = Min Then Cell.Interior.Color = vbYellow
    Next
  Next
End Sub

Hi Rick,
Many thanks! I have inserted your code and it works like a charm but it also highlights when the cells are null. Possible to prevent the cell highlight for null values?
Thanks again!

It does not do that for me... blank cells remain unhighlighted. I am using XL2010 if that might make a difference (although I don't think it should).

No worries, I just managed to fix it by including "If Not IsEmpty(Cell.Value)"
I'm all good now!

Thanks once again master!!!
