Re: Start-End date need to automaticcly colour in project planning
Hello,
Thanks for youre help! But i was wondering is it possible to get the colours diffrent with each project and not colour the weekend days? Or is that impossible
I've added a attachtment, is it possible to get the colours from the first to cells? to colour their row with the date?
Thanks in advance really thankfull for youre help!
For the weekend issue, add this to the rule:
=AND(MEDIAN($C4,$E4,H$3)=H$3,$E4<>"",WEEKDAY(H$3,2)<6)
For your Dutch locale:
=EN(MEDIAAN($C4;$E4;H$3)=H$3;$E4<>"";WEEKDAG(H$3;2)<6)
As for the different colours, Excel is not able to format anything based on the format of another cell. You have two options:
1. Create a separate rule for each row.
2. Look into a VBA solution for the cell colours.

Re: Start-End date need to automaticcly colour in project planning
Will do that, just got 1 more question i tried to make the same in a different planning. But i think i messed up the formula somewhere? Because it colours every cel in stead of the selected cells.
What am i doing wrong here?
So you've removed weekends - so no need for my formula, then???
Still need to add the weekends to this planning
OK - so your anchoring is incorrect. You need this:
=AND(MEDIAN($H11,$I11,J$9)=J$9,$I11<>"")
=EN(MEDIAAN($H11;$I11;J$9)=J$9;$I11<>"")
It won't work if you put extra dollar signs in where they are not needed.
Where are we with this? The thread still isn't marked as solved and there's been no acknowledgement of my latest suggestion. I am human and I do expect some feedback, please.
