Hello All 🙂

I am new here, so thanks in advance for the good will, and thanks to Mynda for the kind help thus far!

 

I am using the Cond. formatting project /gantt chart and have a couple of things that I will be happy to learn how to do

As seen in the enclosedcond-format.JPG.png screenshot

My questions are:

1. How do I make the blue formatting Not appear at the pattern formatted Fri & Sat ?

2. I tried to use an Office-holidays dates table in a dif. sheet and include it in the workday.intl function though I guess I've been doing it wrongly

3. could be nice (not as important as the above) to add a marker that shows 'current day' (like a red border line on the column of the current day

 

Thank you very much guys.

Hi npr

Welcome to the board.

You should attach a sample file (not images) so that those who want to help you do not have to recreate the file themselves.

Attached is one way to get you started on what you wanted.

As for the marker, it is quite complex to create. What I have done instead is to highlight the date in yellow and draw a box if the date happens to be the same as your system's date (i.e. current date)

Hope this helps.

Hi Sunny,

Thank you very much !

I will try to learn what/how you created it.  Got you about attaching a sample.  will do.

I see that you did not use Mynda's formula at the end date cell ( =IF(ISBLANK(G8),"",WORKDAY.INTL(G8-1,(I8+J8),7,Sheet3!D5:D6))  )

 

Best regards.

There are different formulas that will give the same result, depending on your needs and how your data was set up.

Most important is that the formula (whatever it is) works for you. Smile

I got to go and get some sleep now (its already 1:00am over here).

Hi Sunny,

Thank you very much!

Yes, this allows me to incorporate the holidays.

Should I create a list of holidays in a separate sheet?   

it has to be 2 columns?  (name of holiday and date?)

Hi npr

To freeze the panels, do the following:

1) Select cell L16

2) From the ribbon select View - Freeze Panels - Freeze Panels

If it is currently frozen, you will have to unfreeze it first by selecting Unfreeze Panes then freeze them again using the above steps.

Hi Sunny,

Since I cannot upload an excel,  in the file that you sent me (which has both vertical and horizontal freeze, and it's great)

Only the Holidays option does not work for me yet.

Placed dates in sheet2 though the gantt does not skip them.. 🙁

If you could help me on that, that will be Appreciated!

Thanks !

npr

Thanks for the Freezing instructions Sunny !

if I use the file you sent me, then it is perfectly designed already.

Only the holidays remain

Hi npr

See if this is what you are looking for.

I would suggest you create a dynamic range for your holidays.
