Highlight events, weekends and holidays on calendar in Excel

Learn how to highlight/color weekends, holidays and other events on a calendar in Excel.

In the previous video    • Create an annual Calendar in Excel - ...   we learned how to create a dynamic annual calendar. In this video, we will continue and highlight event dates on the calendar.

Step 1: Create event dates in separate tables, 1 table for each event type
Step 2: Write a Conditional Formatting rule to color weekend days using WEEKDAY function
Step 3: Write a Conditional Formatting rule to color event days using MATCH function
Step 4: Repeat step 3 for each additional event type.

Handling conflicting events on same date: Change the order of the conditional formatting rules keeping in mind that the rules higher in the rule set will override the rules below.
