Can you provide my any macro in excel that will highlight maximum value from multiple columns? It will compare value of multiple columns and will highlight maximum value. Further the column will be random like A1, C1,F1,H1,I1,N1 etc, It should compare value with other multiple columns and not with row. Further it should allow same macro to apply to all other rows across multiple columns.

You don't need VBA for this, you should just be able to use Conditional Formatting, using the MAX function.
Here is how you do it:
1. Select each cell in your range A1,C1,F1,H1,I1,N1 so that A1 is the last cell you select.
2. Go to Conditional Formatting and select "New Rule"
3. Select the "Use a formula to determine which cells to format" option
4. Enter the following formula:
5. Click the Format button and go to the Fill tab
6. Select your desired highlighting color
7. Click "OK" twice
This should do what you want (see example below):

=MAX($A$1,$C$1,$F$1,$H$1,$I$1,$N$1)=A16. Select your desired highlighting color
