That was exactly what I needed. Any thoughts on how to highlight the column -
perhaps a second conditional format for if the column is the current date? I
tried the TODAY() function and it didn't work. Might not be possible with how
the sheet is set up. The date cell just has a formula plus 1, so it doesn't
have an actual date. Just thought highlighting the column would be neat.
Thanks again for your help.

The formula would be

=OR(I$7="Sun",I$7="Sat")

if row 7 contained "Sat" "Sun" "Mon" etc. and you would select the range of
cells that you want shaded before entering this formula in the conditional
formatting part.

Thanks for the quick responses. Perhaps I need to clarify. Here is how it
works. I have a cell that is referenced to 1/1/2005 (I6). The cell has
this
formula: =TEXT((I6),"ddd"). The next cell over is: =TEXT((I6)+1,"ddd") and
so
on.

What I would like to do is since the days update automatically based on
the
starting date (I6) I would like the columns to either be shaded (if the
day
is Sat or Sun) or just remain plain. I need to do conditional formatting
as I
will be locking the sheet and only be allowed to enter numbers into the
cells
below the days. I need the cells to change color based on the day - not
what
I enter into each cell.

Thanks for your help!

a
pretty descriptive answer as I am still learning the ways of Excel.
Please
help as soon as you can.

Thank you
