How To: Make a calendar in excel


How to make a calendar in Excel. This could be a weird question for some. But, trust it's still valid. I still hear this question from an average Excel user and been using for years. We are talking of the method wherein we could just lay out full calendar for a month for a year. Or, for a number of years.

So, is there a quick way? The answer is, Yes. There is what you call templates. It's just a two step approach basically:
  1. Open MS Excel
  2. In here you have two options to get to templates
    • When you have just opened Excel fresh, you'll be prompted with the list of the templates. In there, you get to select various templates. Including the Calendar templates
    • On a currently opened Excel, go to Files>New then it will bring up you same templates view above
It's that simple! Now, the other question. Does excel have a feature where in, instead of typing a date in a cell. You will select the date from a calendar box? Well, in MS Excel currently distributed. There's none. But, you can download an AddIn for $10. Click below buy button for the AddIn.

After successful download go to LINK for the instructions on how to install on your MS Excel. It the AddIn will be shown in the Insert tab as Date & Time with a calendar icon.
