Hello Lynn In Conditional Formatting, you can use the formula (Please select the entire column or rows where you have the dates)
=MOD((1+INT(($A2-DATE(YEAR($A2+4-WEEKDAY($A2+6)),1,5) +WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR($A2+4-WEEKDAY($A2+6)),1,3)))/7)),2)=0 However, this formula is not exactly correct because Week 1 and Week 53 are odd numbers and therefore won't alternate. If anyone can suggest a better formula, please help. -- Ashish “If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with.” - A Quote from National Geographic Channel On 7/19/09, Lynn <moley_c...@yahoo.com.au> wrote: > > > I am entering dates every week into a spreadsheet.
