As introduced in my previous article, the Free Spire.XLS for Java is able to highlight the duplicate and unique values in Excel. Now this article will give another example of how to use it to highlight the highest and lowest value in a cell rang.
Import the jar dependency
Method 1: Download the Free Spire.XLS for Java and unzip it, then add the Spire.Xls.jar file to your project as dependency.
Method 2: Directly add the jar dependency to maven project by adding the following configurations to the pom.xml.

Sample Code
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("test.xlsx");
//Get the first worksheet
Worksheet sheet = workbook.getWorksheets().get(0);
//Apply conditional formatting to range "D1:D9" to highlight the highest value
ConditionalFormatWrapper format1 = sheet.getCellRange("D1:D9").getConditionalFormats().addCondition();
format1.setFormatType(ConditionalFormatType.TopBottom);
format1.getTopBottom().setType(TopBottomType.Top);
format1.getTopBottom().setRank(1);
format1.setBackColor(Color.red);
//Apply conditional formatting to range "D1:D9" to highlight the lowest value
ConditionalFormatWrapper format2 = sheet.getCellRange("D1:D9").getConditionalFormats().addCondition();
format2.setFormatType(ConditionalFormatType.TopBottom);
format2.getTopBottom().setType(TopBottomType.Bottom);
format2.getTopBottom().setRank(1);
format2.setBackColor(Color.CYAN);
//Save the document
workbook.saveToFile("output/HighestLowestValue.xlsx", ExcelVersion.Version2016);
}
}
