    Calendar: deadline formatting

    Made an excel calendar which serves as a "deadlines reminder" calendar.

    I want to be able to fill color on the final deadline. The script would fill in other mini deadlines based on the amount of WEEK-days (i.e. work days) from the final deadline.

    For example, if the final deadline is Tuesday, Feb 2, 2010, I would fill that with the color red (or some kind of marker). There are two mini deadlines that I want to autofill, one that is four days before that Tuesday, the other is 10 days. So I want the function/macro to fill Jan 27 (4 work days before) with a different color. And Jan 19 (10 days before) with yet another color.

    The problem is in ignoring the weekend days.

    Remember the point is to have a simple visual reminder of approaching deadlines, so I need the results on the first sheet of the file I uploaded. The second sheet is a linear list of dates in 2010; the solution will most likely use this and the workday function

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    I would like to upload J-Walk Yearly Calendar
    It may work for you

    Answering to your question, you can use conditional formatting
    Highlight all month (B6:X36) got to Conditional formatting on the Home Tab and and select New Rule from dropdown.

    I in window select the last option and type followin formula
    =$A$1=B6

    Where A1 is deadline date....
    Then press format button and select appropriate formatting for deadline date and press OK in all windows
    This must change appearance of those date in your calendar...

    Truely believe that this would help you!!!)))

    This is getting closer. I like being able to switch the years.

    But I guess whats still missing is this: I want to fill color red *manually* on a given date; the final deadline. Then have a macro or function that reads the calendar, testing for any cells with said red fill. Then the macro performs the color filling on the mini deadline(s) that lead up to the final deadline...

    anymore tips for the programming gods?!?!
    thanks
