I have a table like this. I would like to format the cells so that for each
row, greatest value is Green and smallest value is Red. For example, for the
first row, %90.68% would be Green, and -28.34% would be Red.

Is this possible ? Thank you in advance.

Select the range in question, do formula is and put

=MAX($A2:$C2)=A2

where A2 is the active cell

use MIN for condition 2

(I am assuming that the top is A2:C2, adapt accordingly)

Try this,

3 conditional formats
=A1=MAX($A$1:$C$1)
=A1=MIN($A$1:$C$1)
=A1=MEDIAN($A$1:$C$1)

in each case use Formula is and choose your colour.
Use format painter to drag across

Try this:

Assume the range of cells in question is A1:C10

Select the range A1:C10
Goto the menu Format>Conditional Formatting
Condition 1
Formula Is: =A1=MAX($A1:$C1)
Click the Format button
Set color to GREEN
OK
Click the Add button
Condition 2
Formula Is: =A1=MIN($A1:$C1)
Click the Format button
Set color to RED
OK out

Note that if the min and max are equal the GREEN color will be applied
first.
