Thank you.

I understand your formula with the exception of the 2. A$1,2=6 and
A$1,2=7

6 is saturday, 7 is sunday, A is the column name, 1 is the cell number,
but
what about 2? what does mean?

Thank you for your help.

Sincerely,

PaolaAndrea

Here's one interp on what you're after ..

Assume you have sequential dates in A1:G1
say: 17-May-2005 in A1 to ... 23-May-2005 in G1
and you have 4 rows of data below each date
which are to be colored together if the dates in A1:G1
are either Sat or Sun

Select A1:G5
Click Formatting Conditional Formatting
Under Condition 1, make the setting as:
Formula is| =OR(WEEKDAY(A$1,2)=6,WEEKDAY(A$1,2)=7)
Click the Format button Patterns tab Light Green? OK
Click OK at the main dialog

You'll see that cells E1:F5 will be colored Light Green
(E1:F1 contains the dates 21-May-2005 / 22-May-2005
which are Sat / Sun)
