is there a way

Is there any way to tell excel to put a color pattern on a group of
cells based on date.
In other words can I have it automatically place a light blue background
on a range of cells covering the 1st week of the month, light yellow for
2nd week and so on?

Dale,

Conditional formatting with a formula could work. The trick is to have a
clear formula to identify the first week. If it's always the first 7 days,
then a formula such as
=DAY(A1)<8

and set the format accordingly.
