in column B, i have dates in the form 1/1/92 to 31/12/92, how do i write the
conditional formating, so that i can highlight particular months...for
example, all june will be red, or all December will be red?

Select conditional formatting, and under condition 1, select "Formula is",
and in the formula, type "=MONTH(B1)=6" (for June), and change the 6 to 12
for December.

From a post of mine earlier today. Change to suit to

select case month(target)

Use a worksheet_event with select case to change your format,something like
this.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$A$1" Then
With Target
Select Case Target.Value
Case Is = 76
.Interior.ColorIndex = 3 '(red shade)
Case Is = 52
.Interior.ColorIndex = 4 '(green shade)
Case Is = 26
.Interior.ColorIndex = 46 '(orange shade)
Case Is = 11
.Interior.ColorIndex = 41 '(blue shade)
Case Is = 6
.Interior.ColorIndex = 6 '(yellow shade)
End Select
End With
End If
End Sub

Mmm, nothing happens, the dates are in the column B and there are about 2000
over rows. Should i put B3:B2000 or just B1? Both ways nothing happened.

In case you can't figure it out.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Row < 2 Or Target.Column < 1 Then Exit Sub
On Error Resume Next
With Target
Select Case Month(Target)
Case Is = 1: .Interior.ColorIndex = 3
Case Is = 2: .Interior.ColorIndex = 6
'etc
Case Else
MsgBox "no date"
End Select
End With
End Sub

Hi
are you sure your date values are stored as 'real excel' dates and not
as 'Text'.

Also in your example:
- select B3:B2000
- goto the conditional format dialog
-and enter only
=MONTH(B3)=6

about 2000
over rows. Should i put B3:B2000 or just B1? Both ways nothing
happened.

Mmmm, i typed in 1st january as "1-jan" but when i click on the cell, it
shows 1/1/92. So not sure whether this is text or dates?

Hi
you have to enter a valid date. That is WITH a year. You can then
afterwards format it as
D-MMM

If you use B1 in the formula is B1 the active cell within your selection?
in other words select the entire B column with the top row visible
when you do that.

If you wanted to color entire rows you would use $B1 in the formula
=MONTH($B1)=6
and obviously choose a pattern color under format.
