The simplest approach is to have your dates in a column and use this
inserted into the sheet module .
Then when you select a cell in col A the 45 day block will be shown in
yellow

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Columns(1).Interior.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexNone
mr = Application.Max(1, Target.Row - 15)
Cells(mr, 1).Resize(45) .Interior.ColorIndex = 6
End Sub
