I'm brand new, and struggling.

I want to create a drop down menu for a user building a calendar. For example, when the user selects "Weekend" from the drop down menu, the cells within the calendar day are all changed to gray. When they select "Week Day" then it allows the user to make inputs into the cells below within the calendar day.

Additionally, i'm struggling with copy and paste of formatting cells. I have created a calendar day with a drop down menu that alters basic text formatting of the previous cells. When i copy and paste that day to make the full calendar, it carries the formatting over but locks in teh cells from the original copy and paste cell. When i erase the "$" in front of the cells within the formatting, they don't work. Hopefully this makes sense. Thanks for the help!
