Hi guru's.

Is it possible to get conditional formatting to insert text in addition to color?
Would like to have columns in the Gantt form marked with color and description of public holidays

I don't want to insert text or formulas into the gantt form


Hope to hear from you guru's soon.

Best regards
Golaidron

No. As per its name, conditional formatting is for cell formatting not cell content

Why not?
I just want datavalidation in the cells that the date is not a holiday.

Is there a if formula that i can use?

If date = holiday then indeks and match
If date = not a holiday, then datavalidation active with list

I'm lost. That seems to have nothing at all to do with the thread title or what was written in post #1. :confused:

First I wantet to get conditional formatting to insert text into cell that are equal to holiday's. You said that couldn't be done.
Then i was wondering if I could use a formual that inserts holiday decription when the date match to a holiday and if not a holiday i want it to activate datavalidation in the cells
