Hi there,

First time poster here, any help someone can offer with my conditional formatting problem will go a long way!

I have a worksheet with worksites listed in the Column A and the days in a year listed across Row 1.

In a second worksheet I have the following data:
Column A: Worksite
Column B: Date site inspection began
Column C: Date site inspection ended

How can I construct a conditional formatting formula that will highlight cells in worksheet1 to show the days on which a worksite was being inspected based on the data in worksheet2?


Thanks in advance!

hi

if your schedule is on weekend then the logic needs to change.

so based on that a new criteria has been added.

Hi & welcome to MrExcel.

Not sure you can do that with your version of Excel. I think that 2010 was the first version that allowed conditional formatting over different sheets.

I just doubled checked and it looks like I actually have the 2016 version - whoops!

Thank you!

This has gotten me a lot closer but I'm running into an issue if I have more than one inspection listed for a worksite. The formatting will highlight the dates of the first inspection but won't also highlight any subsequent inspections for that worksite in the same row. Do you know how to fix this?
