Color coding in calendar view - How can you change the auto color which seems to be set at "health"

Paige Luben

I would like to color code the calendar view by a different column. It seems default is health (red, yellow, green) but I want it to be set by a custom column I have set up for the category.

Then check if there isn't some conditional formatting to deactivate or remove.

Hi @Paige Luben

You can do that in the conditional formatting menu.

Simply select the color of the task bar (the option at the very bottom) that you wish to display for the row.

@David Joyeuse Thank you -- I actually tried that 😕 but it just turns right back to the color of the health column. I did not set up the sheet so I was thinking maybe there is some other setting that does some type of auto conditional formatting that was turned on.

Hi @Paige Luben

To add to Davids excellent advice.

Also, have a look at the order of the Conditional Formatting rules. They are read from top to bottom.

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!
