CAN'T REMEMBER HOWTO HIGHLIGHT WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS IN AN EXCELL SHEET. ALSO HIGHLIGHTING CERTAIN HOURS OF A DAY, LIKE AFTER BUSINESS HOURS.

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

Hello, "1) Highlight the Weekend Cells" worked but there is a typo - change "B1" to "A1" in the formula :). Thanks!
