i cant remember how i did it, but basically the formatting only highlights the holidays when the date has passed the previous business day...so remebrance day should be only yellow since its nov 11 and the previous business day is nov 15 (im writing this nov 18 EST)

Holidays:
Rememberance DayNovember 11, 2024
Christmas DayDecember 25, 2024
Boxing DayDecember 26, 2024

Excel Facts

Fastest way to copy a worksheet?
Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging tab for Sheet1 to the right. Excel will make a copy of the worksheet.
would using the condition of if if(networkdays(holiday date, today())>1) work?
not 100% sure what you're asking but assumed you want to highlight a cell if the holiday is in the past and has a work day in between???
You didnt have cell references in your example, so used holiday date instead, adjust as required

I want the holiday to highlight when it has passed as a reminder to update the date to next year so that the previous business day does not factor in holidays
