i need to highlight certain cells with conditional formatting based of what day of the week it currently is. I need J1:J10 and V1:V10 highlighted on Monday, N1:N10 on Tuesday P1:P10 and L1:L10 on Wednesday, F1:F10 H1:H10 and R1:R10 on Friday. also if it is possible with just F1:F10 and H1:H10 I would like them to alternate which one is highlighted every other week (example H highlighted on 7/21/2023 and F Highlighted on 7/28/2023) once again only if it is possible. i do currently have a conditional formatting formula that effects all of the row 7 and row 10 cells in these colums and want this to new formula to take priority if there are any special steps i need to take.

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
You'll have to create the rules on your own. But here they are:

Solution
to make these rules take priority over your row 7 and 10 rules I think you would need to put them ABOVE the rules list. But I am unsure if the other cells in the row would highlight or not. You'll have to experiment with it.

Well, I was wrong, the Row 7 and Row 10 CF formulas go in the bottom:
