Hi all,
With help from youtube videos and this forum i've created a gant chart in Excel which uses conditional formatting. I've run into a problem i cannot fix myself.
In the attached file the conditional formatting wont color the column which represents the first week in a year.
2024-08-09 13_11_08-Tidsplan_skabelon_4.0.xlsx - Excel.png
Can someone help me fix the formula?
I think it's because of the mismatch of week number (1) with 30 December (which would be week 52), but I don't fully understand the formula that you are using.
Explain in WORDS what you are expecting it to do.

I've gotten help with the formula so i dont understand it fully either tbh.
The formula needs to color the range between the first and last week. When spanning across a year (start 2024 and end in 2025 for example) it won't color week 1. If that could be possible it would be perfect.
OK - I'll have a look.
I've tried changing the rule to this:
=AND(VALUE(YEAR(M$17+6)&TEXT(M$16,"00"))>=VALUE($J19&TEXT($I19,"00")),VALUE(YEAR(M$17+6)&TEXT(M$16,"00"))<=VALUE($L19&TEXT($K19,"00")))
Seems to work. Please check it carefully.
Try, CF formula:
=MEDIAN($J18*100+$I18,$L18*100+$K18,YEAR(M$17)*100+M$16)=YEAR(M$17)*100+M$16
applies to: $M$18:$BL$47
AliGW's solution worked - haven't tried yours josephteh.
Sorry for expanding on the thread, but do you guys know if it would be relatively easy to make another to columns in where i can define the interval of weeks that shouldnt be formatted from the formula? Example: Over the holidays (marked by the orange diagonal line formatting) it would be great, if the cell wasnt colored blue.
Move the holiday rule to the top of the CF list and tick Stop If True.
Glad to have helped.

Thanks for the rep.

I haven't tried it yet, but it seems that his answer is very promising (With MEDIAN, to get the medium date).
When you have multiple answers to consider, try to test them all, whether they are correct or incorrect,
to show respect for the time the person who helped you has invested.
Good luck

To exclude holiday weeks, =AND(MEDIAN($J18*100+$I18,$L18*100+$K18,YEAR(M$17)*100+M$16)=YEAR(M$17)*100+M$16,NOT(ISNUMBER(MATCH(M$16,Inputs!$B$3:$B$12,0))))
And, your CF for holiday weeks can be shortened to: =ISNUMBER(MATCH(M$16,Inputs!$B$3:$B$12,0))
Thanks Quang! I learned that from one of the experts here! I believe I have seen both you and Ali used that method before.
