I tried to set two conditional formats across the same range of cells using
Format >> Conditional Formatting.  I tried to set Formula Is =MAX(U5:AB5),
font = red, and Formula Is =MIN(U5:AB5), font = green.  The font in all
cells turned red!  What would be the correct way to do this?

Try:

Formula Is     =U5=MAX(U5:AB5) and copy the formatting across

The problem is that by using Formula is, you need to give it a cell/value to
compare to the maximum or minimum to give you the TRUE condition

You could probably get away with Cell Value Is: Equal To: =MAX($U$5:$AB$5)
and make sure you don't get any quotes round the formula

Regards

Trevor

Thank you, Trevor.  The

worked for me.
