I have a spreadsheet with around 50 columns of data. What I want to achieve is that the highest value in each column is highlighted.
I have managed to do this for a single column using conditional formatting and the formula
Excel Formula:
=c7=max($C$7:$C$60)

Is there a way to adapt that formula so that it will work in every column rather than having to create a new conditional format for each column.
 

Excel Facts

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
> Select your all 50 column .
> then Apply same formula just change $ Sign
=c7=max(C$7:C$60)

This will work for you
