I have a holiday allocation calendar and i want it to highlight todays date with a thick border. I cant get conditional formatting or anything to work and im wondering if i could add an extra something into the formula...

=IF(AND((COLUMN()-1)>31*($A$3-1),MONTH(DATE($A$2+INT(($A$3+$A$1)/12),IF((INT((COLUMN()-1)/31.001)+$A$1)>12,(INT((COLUMN()-1)/31.001)+$A$1-12),INT((COLUMN()-1)/31.001)+$A$1),ROUNDUP(MOD(COLUMN()-1,31.001),0)))=ROUNDUP(MOD($A$1+$A$3-1,12.01),0)),ROUNDUP(MOD(COLUMN()-1,31.001),0),"")

this formula is to calculate the date on the day depending on the month and year
 

Excel Facts

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
I don't get it, how does the calendar look like? If all days are written, you can simply highlight the cells if cell=today(), if you have a start and finish date, highlight =if(and(A1<=today(),A2>=today())

I can't figure out how to attach my workbook.

its a basic looking calendar but has 2 scroll arrows to scroll between months and i think this is where the issue lies.

If you have a onedrive account (Microsoft account), click file tab then share. It will propose to save in cloud (so onedrive) if not yet. Then click "share with people" and below the new window on the right, there is "Get a sharing link" that you can paste here.

Can't access sharepoint with my 365 account, I would need a company account.
If too complicated, maybe "snipping tool" (included in windows) with rows and column numbers could help in understanding the situation and required formula.

You can use https://postimages.org/ to share the photo here

is it a vba (or monthview) calendar like this?



i use this to centre it and show todays date.

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()


'Opens on todays date
MonthView1.Value = Date


'Align userform on workbook opening
Me.StartUpPosition = 0
Me.Left = Application.Left + (0.5 * Application.Width) - (0.5 * Me.Width)
Me.Top = Application.Top + (0.5 * Application.Height) - (0.5 * Me.Height)

End Sub

In the developer tab i create a month view form and use the below code.

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()

'Opens on todays date
MonthView1.Value = Date


'Align userform on workbook opening
Me.StartUpPosition = 0
Me.Left = Application.Left + (0.5 * Application.Width) - (0.5 * Me.Width)
Me.Top = Application.Top + (0.5 * Application.Height) - (0.5 * Me.Height)

End Sub


Sorry

This is what i was talking about. the windows month view calendar.
