Please help! I have been trying to work this out for the last couple hours and I haven't figured it out. Here is a link to my Facebook and Twitter where you can see a screenshot of my Excel workbook.

I believe I may need conditional formatting with multiple criteria and a formula, but I am having trouble figuring it out. I am creating a payroll calendar and I want to highlight the dates for weekly, semi-monthly, monthly clients. Each one needs to be a different color.

I have a small yearly calendar. I need the date in the calendar to match my list of key dates. To the right of the calendar, is a two-column table with the headings: key dates and description.

The description includes the words weekly, monthly, semi monthly.

If the calendar date matches at date, I need it to fill the cell based on the corresponding color. If the calendar date is in a cell filled yellow, I need the date on the calendar, the cell, to be highlighted in yellow. And the same goes for the other payroll frequencies / colors.

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
