Match Dates and TRUE Value for Conditional Formatting

Copper Contributor

Hello everyone!

 

I have a yearly calendar that updates automatically when the start date is changed. This is what the calendar looks like:

In a separate sheet, I have all of the dates from the calendar with a formula that writes TRUE if the date is in increments of two weeks from a start date. I have conditional formatting set on the dates to change the color when a given column = TRUE.

I am trying to have a similar conditional formatting on the calendar itself to match the REF column's color. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Let me know if anymore information is needed.

Hi all,

 

Quick update regarding this. I was able to find the solution to what I was looking for:

 

First I isolated the dates for each color I wanted.

Then used this formula for the conditional formatting and changed the reference column to reflect which dates I wanted highlighted.

I know this was a very niche problem, but in case anyone needs this in the future.
