Conditionally Formatting a Specific Weekday Date
Conditionally Formatting a Specific Weekday Date
In Excel, the 7 days of the calendar week can be identified by their index number using the
WEEKDAY
function, starting from 1 (Sunday) to 7 (Saturday). For example, you can use Conditional Formatting to highlight cells with dates that fall on a Friday when the WEEKDAY
function returns the number 6.
In the next picture, a monthly calendar of daily events is listed, with Fridays being conditionally formatted in yellow. The Conditional Formatting formula rule that produces this result is
Notice that the non-date cells in column B are also highlighted in yellow, by virtue of the absolute reference to column A in the formula.
=WEEKDAY($A3)=6
.Notice that the non-date cells in column B are also highlighted in yellow, by virtue of the absolute reference to column A in the formula.
