taghreed almuhajiri, Good morning.

Scenario:
D2:ND2 --> Days (01/01/2014......12/31/2014)
A2 --> Date start vacation
B2 --> Date end vacation

Try to do:
--> Select D2:ND2
--> Menu Conditional format
--> New Rule --> Using formula

Formula --> =AND(D2>=$A$2,D2<=$B$2)
Use a format colour that you prefer.
OK

Please, tell us if it worked for you.
I hope it helps.

yes i'm sure

when you see the file sir you will get the idea exactly ,

what i want here is ( After i type the start & the end date) it will show automatically in the months part
i did highlight cells from X3 to AB3 manually just to show you
same idea but automatically instead of manually

is't even possible for Excel ?

taghreed almuhajiri, Good afternoon.

I downloaded your Excel file.

I did a little modification on your file, to make possible a conditional format to work on.
I changed your single numbers to dates. Line 2.

Then I used a Conditional Formatting with a formula
=AND(N$2>=$E3;N$2<=$F3) to $N$3:$NN$22

Make your own tests.

I hope it helps.

Have a nice day.
