[Solved] Highlight row for dates in "Holidays" sheet

Post by taylorr113y93 »

Hi folks, I am making a spreadsheet to track various financial information. I would like to highlight the rows by date that are holidays, listed on the Holiday sheet. I know that there is a conditional formatting, but I don't know the formula or which cells to apply it. That's it.

I'm not getting the desired result. It is highlighting all of the blank cells, AND the cells of the rows of the holidays. I need only the Holiday row dates.

On the left side of the Conditional Formatting dialog, there is a drop down list that you have set to Cell Value Is. Change that to Formula Is.
