excel - Conditional formatting based on date -

Trying to set up a time card at work in Excel, dates go to the left side Worksheet:

Fri 1/1/11

Sat 1/2/11

Sun 1/11/11

and so on. I want to starve the rows with the weekend dates:

Fri 1/1/11

  Sat 1/2/11 Sun 1/3 / 11   
  Is this a clear way to use conditional formatting?  
 
 
 Of course, to determine the day of the week,  WEEKDAY  function, such as:  
  = WEEKDAY ($ A1,2) & gt; 5   
 Depending on the days of the week, you may need to modify the second parameter if you have more about the  WEEKDAY  function (and other parameters) Can find information.
