Highlight Weekend Dates
Hi, I am super new to smartsheet and still learning. I have no previous experience with formulas.
I have a column that has dates in it, but I want them to highlight red or something if the date is a weekend. Is this possible? What would the formula be if it is?
Thank you in advance for any help.

You would need to insert a helper column and use conditional formatting based on that. I would suggest a text/number column with the following column formula that will output "Weekend" on rows where the date is either a Saturday or a Sunday.
=IF(OR(WEEKDAY([Date Column]@row) = 1, WEEKDAY([Date Column]@row) = 7), "Weekend")
You can then hide this helper column to keep it from cluttering up the sheet too much.
Come see me in Seattle at ENGAGE 2024! I will be at the 10xViz partner booth throughout as well as the "Lets Talk About Community" Meet & Eat table on Tuesday from 11:45am - 12:45pm!
