    Help with a project plan formula and conditional formatting

    Hi

    I am trying to create a project plan in Excel where cells are conditionally filled based on start/end date. This is how I would like it to work:

    START DATE | END DATE 01/01/2016 | 02/01/2016 | 03/01/2016 | 04/01/2016 | 05/01/2016
    02/01/2016 | 04/01/2016 --------------CELLS FILLED IN--------------
    03/01/2016 | 04/01/2016 -------CELLS FILLED IN-----

    Hope the mock up makes sense!

    Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks for any help.

    Suggest you post a sample workbook. The mock up doesn't really work although it gives an idea what you want.
