How do I get excel to paint the cells with say the 14
highest numbers i a defined area of the sheet?
 
Assuming your range (called "rng") is say, A1:A20, then
select the range, go to Format > Conditional Formatting,
Formula Is, and put:

=SUM(--($A1=LARGE(rng,ROW(INDIRECT("1:14")))))

Press the "Format" button and format as desired.

Hi
lets say your area is A1:G30 try the following
- select this area
- goto Format - Conditional format
- enter the following formula
=A1>=LARGE($A$1:$G$30,14)
