This article demonstrates how to highlight the highest and lowest value in a cell rang through conditional formatting. You can also highlight the top 5 or bottom 5 values by passing 5 to setRank() method in the code snippet below.
import com.spire.xls.*; import java.awt.*; public class HighlightTopBottom { public static void main(String[] args) { //Create a Workbook object Workbook workbook = new Workbook(); //Load the sample Excel file workbook.loadFromFile("G:\\360MoveData\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\sales report.xlsx"); //Get the first worksheet Worksheet sheet = workbook.getWorksheets().get(0); //Apply conditional formatting to range "B2:E5" to highlight the highest value ConditionalFormatWrapper format1 = sheet.getCellRange("B2:E5").getConditionalFormats().addCondition(); format1.setFormatType(ConditionalFormatType.TopBottom); format1.getTopBottom().setType(TopBottomType.Top); format1.getTopBottom().setRank(1); format1.setBackColor(Color.red); //Apply conditional formatting to range "B2:E5" to highlight the lowest value ConditionalFormatWrapper format2 = sheet.getCellRange("B2:E5").getConditionalFormats().addCondition(); format2.setFormatType(ConditionalFormatType.TopBottom); format2.getTopBottom().setType(TopBottomType.Bottom); format2.getTopBottom().setRank(1); format2.setBackColor(Color.yellow); //Save the document workbook.saveToFile("output/HighestLowestValue.xlsx", ExcelVersion.Version2016); } }
