Looking to be able to highlight a range of cells based off 4 drop down lists. The drop down lists are: days of the week, a list of tasks, and then a start time and an end time. I want to be able to pick the day of the week from the drop down, pick the task and pick a start time and an end time and have it highlight all the cells between the two times the color associated with each task. Thanks :)

Thanks :) Can you just guide me in the direction I need to go? Or explain how I would go about it and I can go play around with it? I don't mind if it takes longer than 20 min

I want to be able to pick the day of the week from the drop down, pick the task and pick a start time and an end time and have it highlight all the cells between the two times the color associated with each task when I click a button. I know how to do the drop down lists and make the button, I just need the macro that would do the rest. Is there already a general one out there that I could look at and tweak to fit my needs? Thanks :)
