    Hi Everyone

    Example 1 - conditional formats specific calendar dates Green for completed and Red for incomplete days
    Example 2 - conditional format specific dates for specific number of days
    Example 3 - conditional format specific row according to colour choice from data validation drop down colour choice.

    Example 4 - This is where I need help I would like to conditionally format from start date to end date or start date for actual number of days but be able to choose what colour the row is as in example 3.




    Any help much appreciated

    Re: Multiple colour choice - Conditional Format

    If I'm understanding your request correctly, then you just need to combine examples 2 and 3 to achieve example 4. Create 5 CF rules (one for each color) using AND clauses:

    =AND(L$1>=$E$18,L$1<$E$18+$G$18,$D$18="Green")

    Hopefully that does the trick?
