Highlight Max & Min Values in an Excel Line Chart (Conditional Formatting in Charts)

March 21, 2019 Excel Charts

Learn how to insert a line chart in Excel and how to conditionally format the data points of the line chart to emphasize the maximum and minimum points of the line.

We apply the conditional formatting in a dynamic way so that whenever the source data changes, the position of the highlighted markers changes on the chart. With this method you can conditionally format the series of any chart you'd like. For example, to highlight the months that had the highest values or to highlight the data points in red if they are below target and green if above target - or to add conditional data labels to the chart series.

This chart is a good addition to corporate reports and Excel dashboards.
