I SEE NO VB CODE AND YET IT HIGHLIGHTS SAT N SUNDAYS. ANYONE INTERESTED TO FIND OUT HOW IT IS DONE.
DEAR ALL
I came across this file which is used for marking the overtime for the crew. On checking found no VB code nothing and yet on entering month name it highlights the saturdays and sundays. I looked into the project, modules and 'worksheet selection change' - all are blank. So where else i turn to nowadays otherthan this forum. Pls solve my curiosity to know how this was done. The file is about 17kb zipped and will send it on your request. |

But if i click any cell it takes it as col A cell. For example if click g12, it is shown as $a12. I have copied the formula to further ustand.. In the first condition - formula is- option and the foll formula: =MOD(DATE(YEAR($AB$3),MONTH($AB$3),$A12),7)=1 seond condition - formula is - and the formula as follows: =MOD(DATE(YEAR($AB$3),MONTH($AB$3),$A12),7)=0 so on clciking cell ab3 and entering month, it calculates true or false and colors the line from A to AB. Does it take the highlighting range 'A' to 'AB' bcos it is mentioned as row absolute as $A?? |

Yes, the absolute reference for row and column in $AB$3 means that it picks
up the year and month from $AB$3, and then the absolute column reference in $A12 means that the format for the whole row (or as much of it has the conditional format applied) is based on the formula, using the number in column A as the day of the month. To make it clear that it is looking for particular days of the week, one could have used the WEEKDAY() function, rather than MOD(... ,7), but it amounts to the same thing. -- David Biddulph "CAPTGNVR" wrote in message ups.com...
