I have asked to produce a system for team members to log their availability to help out using a traffic light system. I am hoping a template already exists where there is already a calendar, say one worksheet for each month in the year, then a column can be inserted to the left for team members names. Each member can them say type in R, A or G for red, amber and green colours to appear in the cell for that day?

I am hoping a calendar already exists for 2020, and going forward, and that there is a simple way to insert the traffic light colour in each day?

Advice much appreciated.
 
I follow the same instructions and in 2016 web, with the few formatting options it allows me, it puts the format I selected in the cell once I have created the rule. However, when I do the same thing with 2013 desktop it accepts the rules but does not apply them?

Easy bullets in Excel
If you have a numeric keypad, press Alt+7 on numeric keypad to type a bullet in Excel.
Without knowing anything about your data, or what your CF criteria are, it's impossible to help.
However as this is now a different question to your OP, you will need to start a new thread, giving full details about your data & criteria. Thanks

A techy friend shared my screen and figured that some accessibility settings had been altered on my laptop that prevented me from seeing the results of the formatting so I wasn't going potty and your advice was good. Thank you very much Fluff.
