I have an excel sheet with 8 rows and 4096 columns.I am trying to find the top 4 values of each column and highlight them.I can do this for one column by using conditional formatting and copy format to the next column but its not possible for 4096 columns.Is there a macro or any other way to highlight top 4 values in each column?

    Use Excel’s conditional formatting with the Top 10 items… feature

    • Select column A
    • Call the top 10 items feature
    • Set the top number to 4 and set your conditional formatting for the cell

    Column A now highlights the top 4 values
    Now clone this with the Format Painter tool:

    • Select column A
    • Click on the Format Painter button
    • Click on column B to apply the formatting the same way as A
    • Repeat the operation for column C to H, one column after another

    Now your columns have all the correct formatting. If you select your table you will get a conditional formatting rule list like this:
