Is it obvious that I know nothing of this sort of thing?

yes, you forgot brackets, which is pretty basic

Yeah, this.
Although I'll need more details to give you the formula to put in the conditional formatting options.

Will do, another time maybe as I have other stuff to do today
but it's amazing how this place lights up with an excel question!

It's perfectly doable, but calendar views are often a bit of a shit to do in Excel.
fine if it's a list of 1 day events, becomes a pain if the events are more or less than a whole day.

it would be an annual plan
showing activity over the year, so there would be 5 week blocks to be filleed from the original list. I do this by hand currently, but it can be painful
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 8 May 2012, 16:34, Reply)

Yeah, that'll be fairly easy to do.
