    CONDITIONAL FORMATTING (WEEKENDS) - HOW TO CONTINUE ON THE NEXT COLUMNS

    DEAR ALL,

    IN MY DATA BASE I HAVE COLUMN A AS THE DATE AND I HAVE ALREADY USED CONDITIONAL FORMATING FOR THE DATES IN ORDER TO HIGHLIGHT THE WEEKENDS, NOW I WANT THE SAME FORMATTING TO BE CONTINUED ON A NUMBER OF COLUMS ADJACENT TO COLUMN A I.E COLUMS B,C,D,E - ETC.

    In the conditional format used for your first column, just ensure that you have referenced the column A in absolute terms and then just copy the format across to adjacent columns.

    So for example, if your conditional format is =WEEKDAY(A1,2)>5, then just change it to =WEEKDAY($A1,2)>5
    A dream is not something you see when you are asleep, but something you strive for when you are awake.

    It's usually a bad idea to say that something can't be done.

    The difference between dream and aim, is that one requires soundless sleep to see and the other requires sleepless efforts to achieve
