    Hi JOHN_69 

     

    With the help of conditional formatting, you can achieve your requirements.

     

    1) Highlight the Weekend Cells
    Suppose column A contains the dates, select all data in this column and use the below formula as a conditional formatting rule.

    =OR(WEEKDAY(B1,2)=6,WEEKDAY(B1,2)=7)

     

    2) Highlight the Non-business Hours
    Suppose column D contains the times, select all data in this column and use the below formula as a conditional formatting rule.

    =OR(TEXT(D1,"HH:MM:SS")<TEXT($G$1,"HH:MM:SS"),TEXT(D1,"HH:MM:SS")>TEXT($G$2,"HH:MM:SS"))

     

    You may refer to the attached sample file for more clarity and understanding.

     

    Please let me know if it works for you.

     

    Thanks
