😍I love this video!! This video was superbly done! I was trying to find out how to highlight pay days and this video showed that and so much more. Thank you so much! I just subscribed to your channel.
Hi, thanks for the tutorial. I was looking for something like this. Instead of making separate list of holidays (personal, office holiday etc), can't we manage in a holiday in a single list with two parameter?
You are welcome. Our Free Calendar template has the separate list to enter holidays. Following is the link to the template for quick reference: indzara.com/free-excel-template-for-calendar-2024-with-24-formats/ Best wishes.
Thank you for the video, it's really helpful!!! My question is - How can I highlight last working day of each month? Considering Saturday and Sunday as off. It will be great if you let me know ways to do so. Thanks in advance.
You are welcome. Highlighting event instances involves complicated steps and the same is available in our Event Calendar Maker template. Following is the link to the template for quick reference: indzara.com/product/event-calendar-maker/ Best wishes.
Your videos are great. I am wondering if there is a way to set up a pop-up window that automatically shows the holiday when I click on a date in the calendar, such as Christmas or Pongal.
Yes, we can achieve the same using Excel VBA. We can trigger a macro based on the selected cell range to show a popup. We take custom projects for a fee, please write to us at the below link for estimation: support.indzara.com/support/tickets/new Best wishes.
Thanks so much for these videos! I followed along with the annual calendar one. I was wondering how to highlight say the 3rd Saturday of the month. If you could point me in the direction on how to learn to do this, I'd appreciate it! Thanks!
You are welcome. In the Calculations sheet, we calculate the 'week number in month' and the weekday. For the conditional formatting rule for third sat of a month, we need 'week number in month' = 3 and weekday =7 (for sat). Best wishes.
This is great, thank you! Really helpful. I'm trying to highlight multiple days - how do I do that? For example, I have two columns of holidays - one when holiday starts, the other when holidays finish. How can I set conditional formatting to highlight all cells in between please?
Hello, Thank you so much for these videos, I was able to make my calendar with all the Pay days and holidays highlighted in different colors. One question though, for days that are both Payday and Holiday, I was wondering how I can compare the result of my 2 tables and have the similarities put into a 3rd table(using some sort of formula) so I can apply a different colour for those days?
You are welcome. You can write two match condition as shown below with AND to get the required output: =AND(MATCH(B5, PAY_DAY_LIST)>0,MATCH(B5,HOL_DAY_LIST)>0) In manage conditional formatting rules window, move this condition to top of all the conditions and tick mark the stop if true on the right side of the rule. Best wishes.
Thank you for the previous video! My question is how do I input pay days that occur biweekly and change automatically when I change the year. Also adding US holidays to automatically change when I enter the year under the condition that if the holiday falls on a Saturday then the holiday is observed on a Friday and highlighted and if the actual holiday falls on a Sunday then the holiday is observed on that following Monday and highlighted instead.

Hi, thanks for the vids i was wondering if there was a way to highlight by multiple days based on week number to show shift patterns across a 3 week rota if thats possible? And if this 3 week rota would carry over if i changed the calendar year
Thank you for watching our video. Yes, you can highlight a calendar cell depends on another dynamic cell value. If you want more help on this, requesting to share us your sample sheet at support@indzara.com highlighting your requirement to check further. Best wishes.
Thank you for this video, very helpful! My question is, if you need to add an additional event/date after creating the tables and adding in conditional formatting (e.g., a new work event is added in the middle of the table), do you need to re-do the conditional formatting formula each time?
Thanks so much for these videos.I just have one question: How do you highlight two events related to different category (ex:holidays and personal) in the same day?
You are welcome. Since we are highlighting one cell, it can only be one color (for one of the categories). If we need multiple colors, we need to allocate multiple cells to each day. Best wishes.
@@Bel-gk7ie Requesting to follow below steps to apply the method explained in the previous comments: 1.Write the formula to display the date in cell A1 and the next date formula should be in cell A3. 2. Select 2 cells if you want two different event highlighted on same day or select 4 cells for 4 events. For example, A1 & A2 for two events, A1, A2, B1, B2 for 4 events. 3. Press CTRL+1 -> Alignment -> Horizontal alignment (Centre Across Selection) 4. Write conditional formatting on A1 and separate conditional formatting on A2 for separate vacation type. (Note - Conditional formatting formula must have be modified accordingly.) Best wishes.

Hi, I've been watching your videos for a while now I have created the calendar already, everything works fine but about highlighting the events or holidays, is that in case we want to add some days in the events table will it automatically highlight the dates added or we have to edit the formula in conditional formatting again. pls reply thanks a lot
You created a list for your conditional formatting. I also created a list, but I used a formula to create the list so I don't have to manually add appointments to the list every time I schedule one. Now the conditional formatting is highlighting everyday because it is picking up that formula instead of the results of the formula. Is there a way to tell it to read the results and not the formulas?
Thank you for watching our video. I cannot let you know the changes, without looking at the formulas.

This involves some more validation in the formula. For example, if the calendar date is 06-Aug-2021 then you need to write a formula to validate whether the date is between the start and end date.

Very Nice Video. Is it possible to highlight the day according to a rotating schedule? For Example Its my turn to work this weekend so I want to highlight Friday,Saturday,Sunday for me. Then another employee will work the following weekend and so on based on 5 different people that rotate. So my turn comes the 1st weekend in January then again the 6th week of the year which is mid February.

Thanks for sharing however I am having issues. When I created my calendar I used the following formula in the 1st Sunday cell (A7): "=A5-WEEKDAY(A5,1)+1" and then in cell A8 I used "=A7+1" and then continued this for the rest of the cells for the month. I then used the following conditional format to grey out the days that didn't pertain to the current month: "=MONTH(A7)MONTH($A$5)". I should note that cell "A5" is date 1/1/2020. When I follow your instructions on adding a conditional format to highlight holidays it does not work. Any thoughts on why this isn't working? Thanks
I have to make a birthday calendar for our employees. Each month there are about 50 birthdays. Do you know if I can take a list of names and birthdates and easily fill in an excel calendar and not fill them in one by one?
Hello Mark, did you end up doing this? I have the same question. Need to highlight a range of dates based on start and end date of event. Thanks for the help
It is similar in Google Sheets. Just the place to open the conditional formatting will differ. Following is the link to the same template in Google Sheets: indzara.com/2020/03/2020-calendar-free-google-sheet-template/ Best wishes.

How to make the following formula to match only the following date for example: if the date is 10.dec.2020 to check only the date and the month becouse i wana use it for data of birth!?
Step 1: Create a new table with two columns. Let's say in cells AG4 and AH4 are the two column headers. In first column enter month and day of birthday (for example 10-23 for Oct 23rd in cell AG5). In the cell AH5, enter the following formula =(AG5&"-"&W1)*1 Note that W1 is the year of the calendar. Step 2: Now, create the conditional formatting rule as explained in the above video to highlight dates that appear in cells in column AH. If you change the year in cell W1 to 2020, the dates in column AH will become dates in 2020. the calendar will now show highlighted in color you chose in conditional formatting. Best wishes.
