Highlight Odd Days:
Here our formula will be =MOD(DAY($A1),2) that we will be using inside Conditional Formatting.
Let's break down the formula =MOD(DAY($A1),2):
$A1: This refers to cell A1. The $ sign before the column letter and row number makes the reference absolute, which means that when you copy the formula to other cells, it will always refer to column A.
DAY($A1): This function extracts the day component from the date in cell A1. For example, if cell A1 contains the date "April 27, 2024", this function will return 27.
MOD(): This function calculates the remainder of a division operation. It takes two arguments: the number you want to divide and the divisor.
MOD(DAY($A1),2): This part of the formula divides the day extracted from cell A1 by 2 and returns the remainder. So, if the day is odd, the remainder will be 1; if the day is even, the remainder will be 0.
Now 1 = True and 0 will be False is an universal rule and we will be using this in the conditional formatting and thus highlight odd days from a date.
Highlight Odd Dates using Conditional Formatting:
Step 1: Select the range where you have dates and need to highlight.
Step 2: From the “Home” tab click on “Conditional Formatting” and then “New Rule”
Step 3: Click on “Use Formula to Determine Which Cells to Format” and Paste the Formula inside the box. For odd dates the formula will be =MOD(DAY($A1),2)
Step 4: Now click on format and Select your preferred formatting.
Step 5: Click ok and ok again
Done. You have successfully formatted all the odd dates inside your selection.
Now what if you need to highlight all the Even Dates?
You need to change the formula a bit. If we reverse the result in the previous formula it will work. To do that we can use the NOT function to wrap the above formula. NOT function converts True to False and False to True and thus 0 to 1 and 1 to 0. This will now help us to reverse the formula above.
So if you need to highlight all the Even month follow the exact procedure and just use this formula =NOT(MOD(DAY($A1),2)) inside conditional formatting instead of above one.
