Google Docs is very similar to Excel, so using conditional formatting in my Google Docs spreadsheet I used this custom formula to highlight the largest value in a column:
=H6=LARGE($H$6:$H$25,1)
1. Highlight the column
2. Select conditional formatting
3. Custom formula
4. Enter formula
5. Select a color
6. Create a new rule and repeat with the second formula for the next highest value
Change the 1 at the end to a two, add a new rule, and you will get the second largest value:
=H6=LARGE($H$6:$H$25,2)
If your data starts in say, cell H1 then change the H6 to H1. In my spreadsheet I had some headers so I started at H6.
If that formula doesn't work try this one:
=LARGE($H$6:$H$25,1)
