HI,
I have an issue with an excel document.
I Have a start date column and an end date column and next a range of dates in the other columns.
My problem is how to color in black automatically these dates based on the start date and the end date.

For example:
Start date End date 1-oct 2-oct 3-oct
1/10/11 2/10/11 "blackBlack"
1/10/11 3/10/11 "blackblackblack"

The date format is dd/mm/yy!

Thanks!

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
Use conditional formatting.

Assuming start date in A2, end date in B2 and specific dates in C1 across then select the whole range starting with C2, e.g. C2:Z10 and use this formula in conditional formatting

=AND(C$1>=$A2,C$1<=$B2)

apply formatting as required > OK

Many thanks again Barry!
Now based on what I said before, imagine now that I have another column that represents the progress percentage.
How can I colored the specific dates with another color, of course, based on this percentage?
