How to change default "Open with:" settings on a Mac

 I I got this answer from here

==========================================

Choose a file that has the same extension as the other files that you extensively use and right click on it. Example: .mov extension (video)

  • Select “Get Info” from the list shown in the pop-upget info
  • Choose Open With and expand the drop down to choose an app
    open with
  • Select Change All… option under Use this application label box
  • Finally a pop-up asking “Are you sure you want to change all similar files to open with the application” comes up, select continue to save the settings
    are you sure
  • Now the next time you open a file, it is opened using the default application of your choice

Simple but it required me multiple searches to find the right answer.

How to change cell color based on day of the week - Google Sheets - Conditional format based on day of the week

I was looking for a way to change the color or a cell based on the date of the week reflected on that cell or another cell. In my case I was trying to make 2 different colors for Monday and Thursday. 

I found a discussion here that gave me hints into what I found is the best answer. See below. 

Use the function weekday(cell)=? (1 for Sunday, 2 for Monday, .....7 for Saturday). Detailed description is below (thanks to the answer by Emerson Peters on link above): 

===================================

Say the column of dates is A. Select it, Format > Conditional formatting..., Custom formula is and enter:

=weekday(A1)=1  

Choose the formatting required.

The final 1 above is for Sunday, other days follow in numeric order.


Repeat for the other required formats, adjusting the 1 as necessary for other days of the week.

Because these rules do not conflict (each date is only one specific day of the week) the order in which the rules are added (with "+ Add another rule") does not matter.

===================================


I have used this process and created Conditional Format rules to make Mondays Green and Thursdays Pink. As below see results and conditional format formulas:

I hope this helps you and it did to me.
