I have a dynamic calendar setup and want to have it show the days each parent has and show the holidays. With that in mind the holidays change as one will have an odd year one will have an even year. The way the schedule is set one parent has Monday and Tuesday one parent has Wednesday and Thursday then every other weekend starting on Friday. If at all possible some of the dates need to have times associated with them like from 10am on that holiday to 10am the next day.
 

Excel Facts

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Sort by date Sort by votes
The following may help.

1. One formula creates the Calendar 365 or 366 days
2. The entire range is converted to Values.
3. The dates, cell width and height, etc. can be formatted to your preferences.
4. If you require monthly information, add a column for month and filter by month.
5. Fill known information with a distinct color.
6, link special information
7. add time to the dates

Your could add a column and filter by month
You can link specific holidays etc.

How about something like this?
In C2 and C3 you enter year and month, then you get the month displayed bellow so that the days for parent 1 are painted in one color, and the days for parent 2 are painted in another color.
It is set so that Parent 1 gets Wed and Thu, and even weekend (starting to count from 05/01/2024), and Parent 2 gets Mon and Tue, and every odd weekend.
Then you have 2 tables, where you can load the holidays for each parent (a list of all the days in that holiday is required). Holidays take precedence over the normal calendar. Just to exemplify I added some dates for Jan 2024. But you can populated them as you like.

To create this i created two named ranges:
With cell B7 selected (this is important as they have relative references) create range "Parent_1" with this formula:
Excel Formula: 
=LET( d, Sheet1!B7, wd, WEEKDAY(d,2), holP1, IFERROR(XMATCH(d,HP_1[P1],0),0), holP2, IFERROR(XMATCH(d,HP_2[P2],0),0), IF(d<>"", ((wd>2)*(wd<5) + (wd>4)*ISEVEN(INT((d-45296)/7)) + holP1)*NOT(holP2), 0) )

Also with cell B7 selected create range "Parent_2" with this formula:
Excel Formula: 
=LET( d, Sheet1!B7, wd, WEEKDAY(d,2), holP1, IFERROR(XMATCH(d,HP_1[P1],0),0), holP2, IFERROR(XMATCH(d,HP_2[P2],0),0), IF(d<>"", ((wd<3) + (wd>4)*ISODD(INT((d-45296)/7)) + holP2) * NOT(holP1), 0) )

Then create two conditional formatting rules:

Thank you so much there is a lot that will help here. I do have one question with the Holidays. So like for me I have Easter this year and my ex has Easter next year they are all based on odd and even years will that formula you came up with work that way?

Glad to help.
Yes, it will work. You just have to enter in one table (parent 1) the easter holidays of this year, and in the other table the easter holidays of next year.
Try entering them and selecting the year and month and see if it works ok. It should work. Let me know.

I this case, if you are parent 1you will have those days anyway (i dont know if i got the right dates for easter 2024).

Thank you. Now would I have to have a table that has the dates of the holidays for every year since the dynamic calendar I will be able to change the year and the days change automatically?

Yes, you will need to add the dates of the upcoming years to the tables, especially for holidays like Easter, which falls on a different date every year.
Just add dates to the tables

I did not include the formula for making the calendar in my post.
The formula is shown below.
You could adjust the formula to make the calendar for 2 years.
