    Question Conditional formatting based on text ( week days)

    Hello Forum,
    I have a problem formatting a table which is a monthly activity tracking.
    I have a line for each day and I would like all lines related to saturdays and sundays to be highlighted in different color.
    I have created 2 rules in the conditional formating menu
    Rule 1 : =B6="saturday"
    Rule 2 : = B6="sunday"
    But for some reason the rule doesnt apply on all the row but just the cells in B column.
    Any one with the solution?
    Attached is my file for reference.
    Thanks in advance
    Best
    GM

    In this fashion, it will not work either. In your attachment you used =Weekday($c6;2)>5 which is correct.
