Hi everyone!

I am attempting to map out my classes required for the next few years in order to obtain a college degree. Unfortunately, scheduling is a nightmare. What I want to do is have a list of classes that I need to take, and then paste a copy of those class names into a timeline. For every class placed on the timeline, I would like the corresponding class in the list to change colors or something so I know I have scheduled it.

I know a lot about excel, though I am entirely inexperienced once you start to approach macros, etc. What are my options?

On sheet2, highlight column A and type CLASSES into the Name Box (just to the left of the formula bar). You've just named that column CLASSES and can refer to it by that name in a CF formula.

On sheet1, put in your complete list of classes. Highlight the complete class schedule (A3:A30 for instance), then click on FORMAT > CONDITIONAL FORMATTING

Condition1: Formula Is: =ISNUMBER(MATCH($A3,Classes,0))
Format...Pattern...Green

No macro needed.

Welcome to the Board!

Take a look at Microsoft Project, which is a long-term project planning program. You can mimic some of what it does, but why recreate the wheel? If you have a valid college ID, you should be able to get a student version relatively inexpensively.

If not, take a look at the free demo, as it will give you a good idea about how to copy it over to Excel for your needs.

Hope that helps,
