Ok, I am very sorry but I cannot get the XL2BB tool to work for me these days. Excel keeps blocking it and after a few tries following the "how-to" I've decided to post a screenshot with my question.
I am trying to make my mom this calendar/vacation accrual calculator worksheet. If someone uses 8 hours of VAC or whatever other types of "Leave" sh will input the number of hours on this sheet under the correct month/date and I've set up the formulas to add the accruals and subtract the time used (that's the easy part). Here is a screenshot:

1651609571501.png

This is set to adjust the dates based upon the year which she types up in the year cell in the left corner.

Formula for the days to adjust are in the rows of dates, for example, Feb (row 42) the first Monday is a blank cell here is the formula: =IF(WEEKDAY(A42,1)=$I$4, A42,"")
For the following day Feb 1st under Tuesday formula is: =IF(B42="",IF(WEEKDAY(A42,1)=MOD($I$4,7)+1,A42,""),B42+1)
I there a way to maybe use conditional formatting to highlight the Holidays for the year based upon that specific year. See here if a holiday lands on a Sunday we observe it on that following Monday or if a holiday falls on a Saturday it is observed on Friday before. They are paid holiday pay so she would like to track that but I am not sure how to set that up for her.
Wanted to bring this one to you all to see what you think.
IF you need more info let me know and I will try to post the XL2BBB
 

Excel Facts

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop
I'm not sure how to wire this idea into your workbook, but you could include rows under each month (I'm assuming the months continue down the sheet?) to flag holidays and then use conditional formattting to highlight a cell or range of cells based on that. These rows could be hidden from view then.

I got the XL2BB to work! YES! Does this take in account ONLY weekends @KRice? If like Christmas falls on a Saturday I want it to highlight the Friday before as the Observed USA Holiday or if it falls on a Sunday I want it to highlight Monday as the observed Holiday without having toeven think about it

And then a formula on the holiday sheet will handle the Friday/Monday rule. This checks whether the manually inputted holiday dates (in blue) fall on a Sat or Sun, and then either subtracts or adds one day to arrive at the "celebrated on" date:

Solution
Where do you want the highlighting to appear for holidays, and what would the highlighting look like? Are the cells a certain color...and is it only the day number that is highlighted, or do you want a range of cells extending down the column highlighted on those days?

I would like it to highlight the whole row for that month. The dates are just up top under the days of the week. Everything below that is my moms work area where she wants to plug her figures in

Color doesn't really matter just something that is noticeable I was using yellow

Here I used the Conditional Formatting rule (apply formatting where a formula evaluates to TRUE) with the following formula:
Excel Formula:
=ISNUMBER(MATCH(DATE(YEAR($A$10),MONTH($A$10),DAY(B$10)),Holidays!$C$3:$C$10,0))
...and indicated that the formatting rule should be applied to =$B$10:$AL$21
No helper row is needed, just the holidays sheet posted previously (renamed to Holidays). I'm not sure what the A7 formula is doing here.

I noticed that the vertical gray bars denoting weekends do not shift correctly when, for example, you change the start-of-week option in I4 from Monday to Sunday. Here is an idea using conditional formatting that determines whether a number is in row 10 and an "S" is in row 9. If so, then the cells are shaded and the font colors adjusted as necessary. Before implementing this, you will want to select B10:B21 and click on the "paint brush" Format Painter and then swipe across your entire range or C:AL. Then apply the conditional formatting rules to handle the row heading formats, and vertical bar formats for weekends and holidays.

For reference, the dark gray is color hex code: #595959 and white font
light gray is: #D9D9D9 and black font
yellow is standard: #FFFF00 and black font
light blue is: #D3EBF3 and black font
