    Highlight the greatest value as new values are added


    Can someone please help. I have a simple report that pulls in Revision numbers. I simply want the conditional formatting in Access to only highligt the greatest (or highest) revision number. So the report would show Rev = 1, Rev = 2 and so on. In that instance only revision 2 should be highlighted b/c it has the highest value. I would like the report to continue to use that logic moving forward and higher and higher revision numbers are added. Any ideas? I tried and few things and nothing seems to work.

    I looked at conditional formatting but am having a problem actually just getting the highest value to be highlighted. I can get it to highlight a value. I just don't know how to get it to highlight the greatest value. I'm thinking it might be an expression in conditional formatting, but I just don't know.
