    Highlight cell with current week and highlight adjacent cell in same row as well

    I'm not sure what the best way to do this is. I could make a macro but that seems like massive overkill. I know how to highlight a cell based on the current week but I have another column next to the dates, with other values. How could I make a cell in the 2nd column but on the same row as the highlighted week also be highlighted? I'm sure there's a way to do this using conditional formatting as well...

    if you select the column say C
    and the use B1 as the rule - c will change colour

    ie

    select C:C

    conditional formatting

    =B1>0

    then c1 down will highlight where b1 down is greater than zero

    does that help

    etaf,

    Unfortunately not.

    Maybe if I explain my situation in a bit more detail you'll understand.

    Column A has the dates of every starting Monday. Column B has the week number. Column C and so forth will also contain other values that I might want to be highlighted as well, but I can just copy paste the same rule used for Column B, once I figure it out.

    For example, say that this week is week 3. So the cell with the date 11/09/2017 (Monday of this week) will be highlighted. But I also want the cell next to it (with the value "week 3") highlighted as well. And then so forth for the next week and the week after, etc.
