    Your sample file is not very clear, as there is only one date on each row.

    Please explain more clearly what you are trying to do.

    would it be possible for highlighting the cells every specific day of the week. So it is not going to be a cell with a date in it. It is a text cell.

    I'm sorry, but that is no clearer to me.

    CF rules:

    C1 - =WEEKDAY(TODAY())=3
    C2 - =WEEKDAY(TODAY())=2
    C3 - =WEEKDAY(TODAY())=1
