Conditional formatting using Unique
Im trying to use conditional formatting to highlight a cell with the x'th lowest number.
=A$1=small(unique($A$1:$E$1),3)
Even with unique() I cant seem to make it ignore duplicates.
The 3rd smallest seems to be 2, not 3.
4th smallest will highlight the cell with 3 (C1).
Am I missing something?

ohh. So, my unique was comparing the entire row to other rows, but only 1 row exist so it just return the unchanged row.
