I have formulas set up to have in cell a1 Mon 01/01/07 as a date, in the rest
of the cells I have =a1+1 and so on to fill in all dates for the year, what I
need is for cells that only contain Sat and Sun in the date to change colour
to yellow, is this possible, I have tried through CF but not formatting as
the cells contain formulas

Regards

MN

Have another look at CF

Formula Is: =WEEKDAY(A1,2)5

=WEEKDAY(A1,2)

for dates Mon-Fri returns 0-5
for dates Sat & Sun returns 6 & 7

=WEEKDAY(A1,2)5

Returns True for Dates Sat & Sun

Also returns True if cell is empty or 0 (if necessary the CF formula can be
amended to exclude empty or 0 cells)

See the Weekday function in Help

Does A1 contain a true date, not text. If you clear all formats the cell
should show a number.

In the CF dialog did you change 'Cell Value Is' to 'Formula Is'

Still not working for me, A1 does contain a true date, when I enter the
formulas you gave me it doesn't return the dates in the cells as if mon
01-jan-07 and so on until the end of the year and I don't have an option to
change cell value to formula is in 2007

What happens if you enter
=WEEKDAY(A1,2)
in any cell and A1 contains 1/1/07, a Monday
The formula should return 1
Now try some other dates incl Sat & Sun, eg Sun 21-Jan-07 should return 7

Now change the formula to =WEEKDAY(A1,2)5

try different dates
do you get the False for Mon-Fri and True for Sat & Sun

If it works in cells it should work in CF

I don't understand what you mean here
I don't have an option to
change cell value to formula is in 2007

I haven't asked you to change the cell from a value to a date, it doesn't
make any difference to the CF if the cell is a 'constant' date value or a
formula that returns a date. However in the CF dialog you MUST change 'Cell
Value Is' to 'Formula Is'

Hi Peter, I see what your getting at now, the cells do return numbers but
work back from 7 to 1 instead of 1 to 7 and this is after I format cell to
general, the only problem is that I need the cell to have the date in it not
a number or true or false, any other suggestions, I may sound a bit stupid.
