To apply this in the Excel sheet, perform the following steps:

  • Hit the Developer tab and then from the Controls group, you have to make a tap over arrow sign present within the Insert tab.

Once this date picker control is been inserted, you will see that the EMBED formula starts appearing within the formula bar.

This gives detail to your Excel application about what kind of control is embedded within the sheet. You can’t change edit or delete this control because this will show the error “Reference is not valid“.

Adding the ActiveX control such date picker automatically enables the design mode which will allow you to change the properties and appearance of any freshly added control.

  • Now, make a tap over the drop-down arrow for showing up the calendar and then select the date as per your need.
  • Click the dropdown arrow to show the calendar in Excel and choose your desired date.

Date Picker control 6

Note:

If MS date picker control is now not available within the list of More Controls. This situation mainly arises due to the following reasons.

  • While you are running the MS Office 64 bit version. As there is no official date picker control available in the Office 64-bit.
  • Calendar control i.e mscomct2.ocx is now not present or it is not registered on your PC.

  1. Link Excel Calendar Control With The Cell

After successfully adding the calendar drop-down in excel, you need to link it with some specific cell. This step very compulsory to perform if you want to make use of any selected dates with the formulas.

Suppose you are writing the formula for counting up the order’s number between any specific dates. For stopping any other from entering wrong dates such as 2/30/2016 you have inserted a drop-down calendar within 2 cells.

The COUNTIF formula that you have applied for calculating a number of orders will return the value “0” even if the orders are present.

Well, the main reason can be that your Excel is unable to recognize the value present in the date picker control. This problem will persist until you link the control with some specific cell. Here is the step that you need to perform:

  1. Selecting the calendar control you have to enable the Design Mode.
  2. Go to the Developer tab and then from the control group tap to the
  3. In the opened Properties” windows, assign cell reference in the LinkedCell property (here I have written A3):

Календарь в Microsoft Excel

При создании таблиц с определенным типом данных иногда нужно применять календарь. Кроме того, некоторые пользователи просто хотят его создать, распечатать и использовать в бытовых целях. Программа Microsoft Office позволяет несколькими способами вставить календарь в таблицу или на лист. Давайте выясним, как это можно сделать.

Если инструкция по созданию календаря в Microsoft Excel вам покажется сложной, в качестве альтернативы рекомендуем рассмотреть веб-платформу Canva, доступную онлайн из любого браузера. Это сервис с огромной библиотекой редактируемых шаблонов различной направленности и стилистики, в числе которых есть и календари. Любой из них можно изменить на свое усмотрение либо создать таковой с нуля и затем сохранить на компьютер в предпочтительном формате или распечатать.

Создание различных календарей

Все календари, созданные в Excel, можно разделить на две большие группы: охватывающие определенный отрезок времени (например, год) и вечные, которые будут сами обновляться на актуальную дату. Соответственно и подходы к их созданию несколько отличаются. Кроме того, можно использовать уже готовый шаблон.

Способ 1: создание календаря на год

Прежде всего, рассмотрим, как создать календарь за определенный год.

  1. Разрабатываем план, как он будет выглядеть, где будет размещаться, какую ориентацию иметь (альбомную или книжную), определяем, где будут написаны дни недели (сбоку или сверху) и решаем другие организационные вопросы.
  2. Для того, чтобы сделать календарь на один месяц выделяем область, состоящую из 6 ячеек в высоту и 7 ячеек в ширину, если вы решили писать дни недели сверху. Если вы будете их писать слева, то, соответственно, наоборот. Находясь во вкладке «Главная», кликаем на ленте по кнопке «Границы», расположенной в блоке инструментов «Шрифт». В появившемся списке выбираем пункт «Все границы».
  3. Ограничивание ячеек в Microsoft Excel

  4. Выравниваем ширину и высоту ячеек, чтобы они приняли квадратную форму. Для того, чтобы установить высоту строки кликаем на клавиатуре сочетание клавиш Ctrl+A. Таким образом, выделяется весь лист. Затем вызываем контекстное меню кликом левой кнопки мыши. Выбираем пункт «Высота строки».
    Переход к установки высоты строки в Microsoft Excel

    Открывается окно, в котором нужно установить требуемую высоту строки. Ели вы впервые делаете подобную операцию и не знаете, какой размер установить, то ставьте 18. Потом жмите на кнопку «OK».

    Установка высоты строки в Microsoft Excel

    Теперь нужно установить ширину. Кликаем по панели, на которой указаны наименования столбцов буквами латинского алфавита. В появившемся меню выбираем пункт «Ширина столбцов».

    Переход к установки ширины столбца в Microsoft Excel

    В открывшемся окне установите нужный размер. Если не знаете, какой размер установить, можете поставить цифру 3. Жмите на кнопку «OK».

    Установка ширины столбца в Microsoft Excel

    После этого, ячейки на листе приобретут квадратную форму.

  5. Теперь над расчерченным шаблоном нам нужно зарезервировать место для названия месяца. Выделяем ячейки, находящиеся выше строки первого элемента для календаря. Во вкладке «Главная» в блоке инструментов «Выравнивание» жмем на кнопку «Объединить и поместить в центре».
  6. Объединение ячеек в Microsoft Excel

  7. Прописываем дни недели в первом ряду элемента календаря. Это можно сделать при помощи автозаполнения. Вы также можете на свое усмотрение отформатировать ячейки этой небольшой таблицы, чтобы потом не пришлось форматировать каждый месяц в отдельности. Например, можно столбец, предназначенный для воскресных дней залить красным цветом, а текст строки, в которой находятся наименования дней недели, сделать полужирным.
  8. Форматирование ячеек в Microsoft Excel

  9. Копируем элементы календаря ещё для двух месяцев. При этом не забываем, чтобы в область копирования также входила объединенная ячейка над элементами. Вставляем их в один ряд так, чтобы между элементами была дистанция в одну ячейку.
  10. Элементы календаря скопированы в Microsoft Excel

  11. Теперь выделяем все эти три элемента, и копируем их вниз ещё в три ряда. Таким образом, должно получиться в общей сложности 12 элементов для каждого месяца. Дистанцию между рядами делайте две ячейки (если используете книжную ориентацию) или одну (при использовании альбомной ориентации).
  12. Крпирование ячеек в Microsoft Excel

  13. Затем в объединенной ячейке пишем название месяца над шаблоном первого элемента календаря – «Январь». После этого, прописываем для каждого последующего элемента своё наименование месяца.

  15. На заключительном этапе проставляем в ячейки даты. При этом, можно значительно сократить время, воспользовавшись функцией автозаполнения, изучению которой посвящен отдельный урок.

После этого, можно считать, что календарь готов, хотя вы можете дополнительно отформатировать его на своё усмотрение.

Способ 2: создание календаря с использованием формулы

Но, все-таки у предыдущего способа создания есть один весомый недостаток: его каждый год придется делать заново. В то же время, существует способ вставить календарь в Excel с помощью формулы. Он будет каждый год сам обновляться. Посмотрим, как это можно сделать.

  1. В левую верхнюю ячейку листа вставляем функцию:
    ="Календарь на " & ГОД(СЕГОДНЯ()) & " год"
    Таким образом, мы создаем заголовок календаря с текущим годом.
  2. Вставка формулы в Microsoft Excel

  3. Чертим шаблоны для элементов календаря помесячно, так же как мы это делали в предыдущем способе с попутным изменением величины ячеек. Можно сразу провести форматирование этих элементов: заливка, шрифт и т.д.
  4. Создание макета календаря в Microsoft Excel

  5. В место, где должно отображаться названия месяца «Январь», вставляем следующую формулу:
    =ДАТА(ГОД(СЕГОДНЯ());1;1)
    Вставка формулы для января

    Но, как видим, в том месте, где должно отобразиться просто название месяца установилась дата. Для того, чтобы привести формат ячейки к нужному виду, кликаем по ней правой кнопкой мыши. В контекстном меню выбираем пункт «Формат ячеек…».

    Переход в формат ячеек в Microsoft Excel

    В открывшемся окне формата ячеек переходим во вкладку «Число» (если окно открылось в другой вкладке). В блоке «Числовые форматы» выделяем пункт «Дата». В блоке «Тип» выбираем значение «Март». Не беспокойтесь, это не значит, что в ячейке будет слово «Март», так как это всего лишь пример. Жмем на кнопку «OK».

  6. Окно формата ячеек в Microsoft Excel

  7. Как видим, наименование в шапке элемента календаря изменилось на «Январь». В шапку следующего элемента вставляем другую формулу:
    =ДАТАМЕС(B4;1)
    В нашем случае, B4 – это адрес ячейки с наименованием «Январь». Но в каждом конкретном случае координаты могут быть другими. Для следующего элемента уже ссылаемся не на «Январь», а на «Февраль», и т.д. Форматируем ячейки так же, как это было в предыдущем случае. Теперь мы имеем наименования месяцев во всех элементах календаря.
  8. Добавление наименований месяцев в Microsoft Excel

  9. Нам следует заполнить поле для дат. Выделяем в элементе календаря за январь все ячейки, предназначенные для внесения дат. В Строку формул вбиваем следующее выражение:
    =ДАТА(ГОД(D4);МЕСЯЦ(D4);1-1)-(ДЕНЬНЕД(ДАТА(ГОД(D4);МЕСЯЦ(D4);1-1))-1)+{0:1:2:3:4:5:6}*7+{1;2;3;4;5;6;7}
    Жмем сочетание клавиш на клавиатуре Ctrl+Shift+Enter.
  10. Заполнение пространства дат в Microsoft Excel

  11. Но, как видим, поля заполнились непонятными числами. Для того, чтобы они приняли нужный нам вид. Форматируем их под дату, как это уже делали ранее. Но теперь в блоке «Числовые форматы» выбираем значение «Все форматы». В блоке «Тип» формат придется ввести вручную. Там ставим просто букву «Д». Жмем на кнопку «OK».
  12. Форматирование под дату в Microsoft Excel

  13. Вбиваем аналогичные формулы в элементы календаря за другие месяцы. Только теперь вместо адреса ячейки D4 в формуле нужно будет проставить координаты с наименованием ячейки соответствующего месяца. Затем, выполняем форматирование тем же способом, о котором шла речь выше.
  14. Выставление дат во всех месяцах в Microsoft Excel

  15. Как видим, расположение дат в календаре все ещё не корректно. В одном месяце должно быть от 28 до 31 дня (в зависимости от месяца). У нас же в каждом элементе присутствуют также числа из предыдущего и последующего месяца. Их нужно убрать. Применим для этих целей условное форматирование.

    Производим в блоке календаря за январь выделение ячеек, в которых содержатся числа. Кликаем по значку «Условное форматирование», размещенному на ленте во вкладке «Главная» в блоке инструментов «Стили». В появившемся перечне выбираем значение «Создать правило».

    Переход к созданию правила условного форматирования в Microsoft Excel

    Открывается окно создания правила условного форматирования. Выбираем тип «Использовать формулу для определения форматируемых ячеек». В соответствующее поле вставляем формулу:
    =И(МЕСЯЦ(D6)1+3*(ЧАСТНОЕ(СТРОКА(D6)-5;9))+ЧАСТНОЕ(СТОЛБЕЦ(D6);9))
    D6 – это первая ячейка выделяемого массива, который содержит даты. В каждом конкретном случае её адрес может отличаться. Затем кликаем по кнопке «Формат».

    Создание правила в Microsoft Excel

    В открывшемся окне переходим во вкладку «Шрифт». В блоке «Цвет» выбираем белый или цвет фона, если у вас установлен цветной фон календаря. Жмем на кнопку «OK».

    Установка цвета шрифта в Microsoft Excel

    Вернувшись в окно создания правила, жмем на кнопку «OK».

  16. Создание правила в программе Microsoft Excel

  17. Используя аналогичный способ, проводим условное форматирование относительно других элементов календаря. Только вместо ячейки D6 в формуле нужно будет указывать адрес первой ячейки диапазона в соответствующем элементе.
  18. Скрытие лишних дат в Microsoft Excel

  19. Как видим, числа, которые не входят в соответствующий месяц, слились с фоном. Но, кроме того, с ним слились и выходные дни. Это было сделано специально, так как ячейки, где содержаться числа выходных дней мы зальём красным цветом. Выделяем в январском блоке области, числа в которых выпадают на субботу и воскресение. При этом, исключаем те диапазоны, данные в которых были специально скрыты путем форматирования, так как они относятся к другому месяцу. На ленте во вкладке «Главная» в блоке инструментов «Шрифт» кликаем по значку «Цвет заливки» и выбираем красный цвет.
    Заливка ячееек в Microsoft Excel

    Точно такую же операцию проделываем и с другими элементами календаря.

  20. Заливка цветом всех ячеек в Microsoft Excel

  21. Произведем выделение текущей даты в календаре. Для этого, нам нужно будет опять произвести условное форматирование всех элементов таблицы. На этот раз выбираем тип правила «Форматировать только ячейки, которые содержат». В качестве условия устанавливаем, чтобы значение ячейки было равно текущему дню. Для этого вбиваем в соответствующее поля формулу (показано на иллюстрации ниже).
    =СЕГОДНЯ()
    В формате заливки выбираем любой цвет, отличающийся от общего фона, например зеленый. Жмем на кнопку «OK».
    Установка формата ячеек в Microsoft Excel

    После этого, ячейка, соответствующая текущему числу, будет иметь зеленый цвет.

  22. Установим наименование «Календарь на 2017 год» посередине страницы. Для этого выделяем всю строку, где содержится это выражение. Жмем на кнопку «Объединить и поместить в центре» на ленте. Это название для общей презентабельности можно дополнительно отформатировать различными способами.

Объединение ячеек в программе Microsoft Excel

В целом работа над созданием «вечного» календаря завершена, хотя вы можете ещё долго проводить над ним различные косметические работы, редактируя внешний вид на свой вкус. Кроме того, отдельно можно будет выделить, например, праздничные дни.

Способ 3: использование шаблона

Те пользователи, которые ещё в недостаточной мере владеют Экселем или просто не хотят тратить время на создание уникального календаря, могут воспользоваться готовым шаблоном, закачанным из интернета. Таких шаблонов в сети довольно много, причем велико не только количество, но и разнообразие. Найти их можно, просто вбив соответствующий запрос в любую поисковую систему. Например, можно задать следующий запрос: «календарь шаблон Excel».

Примечание: В последних версиях пакета Microsoft Office огромный выбор шаблонов (в том числе и календарей) интегрирован в состав программных продуктов. Все они отображаются непосредственно при открытии программы (не конкретного документа) и, для большего удобства пользователя, разделены на тематические категории. Именно здесь можно выбрать подходящий шаблон, а если такового не найдется, его всегда можно скачать с официального сайта Office.com.

По сути, такой шаблон — уже готовый календарь, в котором вам только останется занести праздничные даты, дни рождения или другие важные события. Например, таким календарем является шаблон, который представлен на изображении ниже. Он представляет собой полностью готовую к использованию таблицу.

Шаблон календаря в Microsoft Excel

Вы можете в нем с помощью кнопки заливки во вкладке «Главная» закрасить различными цветами ячейки, в которых содержатся даты, в зависимости от их важности. Собственно, на этом вся работа с подобным календарем может считаться оконченной и им можно начинать пользоваться.

Выделение дат в Microsoft Excel

Мы разобрались, что календарь в Экселе можно сделать двумя основными способами. Первый из них предполагает выполнение практически всех действий вручную. Кроме того, календарь, сделанный этим способом, придется каждый год обновлять. Второй способ основан на применении формул. Он позволяет создать календарь, который будет обновляться сам. Но, для применения данного способа на практике нужно иметь больший багаж знаний, чем при использовании первого варианта. Особенно важны будут знания в сфере применения такого инструмента, как условное форматирование. Если же ваши знания в Excel минимальны, то можно воспользоваться готовым шаблоном, скачанным из интернета.

Excel is a powerful tool for crunching numbers. But it can also double as a fully-fledged calendar and planner, even if that means dumbing down its functionality a bit. In this article, you’ll learn how to make a calendar in Excel in three simple steps.

So, without further ado, let’s dive in. 👇

Table of Contents

🤔 What Is a Calendar in Excel?

A calendar in Excel lets you do pretty much what a regular calendar does:

  • 👩‍⚕️ Schedule meetings and appointments.
  • ✔️ Keep track of deadlines and important dates.
  • 🎯 Set daily, weekly, and monthly goals.
  • 🟢 Check your availability at a glance.
  • 🗓️ Plan ahead and prepare for upcoming events.

Of course, there are also a few other gimmicks that come with the spreadsheet pedigree.

You can customize each and every worksheet cell to your heart’s content. Tweak one of the dozens of formatting options or apply conditional formatting and watch cells change appearance based on their contents. We’re not saying that you should, but it’s possible.

The options are limitless, and for our taste, a bit overwhelming.

Confused equations meme.

Since we don’t have the time (or patience) for all that, let’s stick to the basics.

🏗️ How to Make a Calendar in Excel in 3 Steps

1. Use a Template or Start from Scratch

When you first open Excel, you have two choices. You can create a blank workbook and format the calendar yourself or pick one of the available templates to speed up the process. 

Choosing a ready-made framework is a no-brainer.

All you need to do is type “calendar” in the search bar in the top-right corner. There are dozens of pre-filled frameworks, each with unique styling and composition.

Using templates is faster, but it leaves you with limited customization options.

Let’s try a more hands-on approach. 💪

Pick the Blank Workbook option from the list at the top.

 [template]

Next, right-click “Sheet1” at the bottom, choose “Rename,” and type in the current month.

Great, moving on. 👉

2. Format Your Excel Calendar

Our spreadsheet is crisp and clear. But it doesn’t look anything like a monthly calendar.

Select seven columns at the top, from A to G and set Column Width to “20.” 

Resizing columns in an Excel spreadsheet.

Repeat the step for rows 1 to 7 and set Row Height to “70.”

Our calendar is taking shape. Let’s give it some visual upgrades to make it look the part.

Select cells A1:G8, click Format as Table in the Home tab, and choose one of the available styles. To remove the ugly filter buttons at the top, go to Table and deselect “Filter Button.”

Finally, apply Align to Middle and Center Text to the top row of your table (cells A1:G1).

Now, you can add days of the week at the top of each column. Make sure to format the text so it’s easily readable. You can change the font style, size, and color.

All that’s left is to number the days in our calendar. You can use a wall calendar (or the one on your phone) for reference. When done, select the cells and top-align/right-align the text.

Now that you have a calendar template in place, you can create a few new sheets, one for each month, or duplicate the template to create a quarterly calendar in the same sheet.

3. Track Tasks and Events

Let’s put our new calendar to good use and start tracking monthly tasks.

The simplest way to do that is the Comment feature.

Select the day when you want to schedule a task and click New Comment in the Insert tab at the top. Write down your tasks and events using bullets or square brackets. The second approach lets you mark each task as complete by adding an “X” inside the brackets.

⚡️ Pro Tip: Press ⌨️ Shift+F2 to quickly insert a comment.

Create a calendar for the week, month, or entire year.

Updated on September 23, 2022

What to Know

  • Easiest way is to use the numerous pre-made calendar templates: Go to File > New > «calendar» in search field > select calendar > Create.
  • Alternatively, use Excel to make a custom calendar.

This article explains four different ways on how to make a calendar in Excel. Instructions apply to Excel 2019, Excel 2016, Excel 2013, Excel 2010, Excel for Mac, Excel for Android, and Excel Online.

How to Make a Pre-Made Calendar in Excel

You can craft your own calendar in Excel from scratch, but the easiest way to create a calendar is using a pre-made calendar template. Templates are useful because you can edit each day to include special events, and then print each month whenever you like.

tigerlily713/Pixabay
  1. Select File > New.

  2. In the search field, type calendar and select the magnifying glass to initiate the search.

  3. Select the calendar style that suites your needs. This example uses the Any year calendar. Once you’ve selected your calendar, select Create.

  4. Each calendar template has unique features. The Any year calendar template in particular lets you type in a new year or starting day of the week to automatically customize the calendar.

How to Make a Custom Monthly Calendar in Excel

If you don’t like the limitations of a calendar template, you can create your own calendar from scratch in Excel.

  1. Open Excel and type the days of the week in the first row of the spreadsheet. This row will form the foundation of your calendar.

  2. Seven months of the year have 31 days, so the first stage of this process is to create the months for your calendar that hold 31 days. This will be a grid of seven columns and five rows.

    To start, select all seven columns, and adjust the first column width to the size you’d like your calendar days to be. All seven columns will adjust to the same.

  3. Next, adjust the row heights by selecting the five rows under your weekday row. Adjust the height of the first column.

    To adjust the height of several rows at the same time, simply highlight the rows you’d like to adjust before changing the height.

  4. Next, you need to align the day numbers to the upper-right of each daily box. Highlight every cell across all seven columns and five rows. Right click on one of the cells and select Format Cells. Under the Text alignment section, set Horizontal to Right (Indent), and set Vertical to Top.

  5. Now that the cell alignments are ready, it’s time to number the days. You’ll need to know which day is the first day of January for the current year, so Google «January» followed by the year you’re making the calendar for. Find a calendar example for January. For 2020, for example, the first day of the month starts on a Wednesday.

    For 2020, starting on Wednesday, number the dates in sequential order until you get to 31.

  6. Now that you have January finished, it’s time to name and create the rest of the months. Copy the January sheet to create the February sheet.

    Right-click the sheet name and select Rename. Name it January. Once again, right-click the sheet and select Move or Copy. Select Create a copy. Under Before sheet, select (move to end). Select OK to create the new sheet.

  7. Rename this sheet. Right click the sheet, select Rename, and type February.

  8. Repeat the above process for the remaining 10 months.

  9. Now it’s time to adjust the date numbers for each month after the template month of January. Starting with February, stagger the starting date of the month to whichever day of the week follows the last day of the January. Do the same for the rest of the calendar year.

    Remember to remove non-existent dates from the months that are not 31 days long. Those include: February (28 days—29 days in a leap year), April, June, September, and November (30 days).

  10. As the last step, you can label each month by adding a row at the top of each sheet. Insert a top row by right-clicking the top row and selecting Insert. Select all seven cells above the days of the week, select the Home menu, and then select Merge & Center from the ribbon. Type the month name into the single cell, and reformat the font size to 16. Repeat the process for the rest of the calendar year.

Once you’re finished numbering months, you will have an accurate calendar in Excel for the full year.

You can print any month by selecting all of the calendar cells and selecting File > Print. Change orientation to Landscape. Select Page Setup, select the Sheet tab, and then enable Gridlines under the Print section.

Select OK and then Print to send your monthly calendar sheet to the printer.

How to Make a Custom Weekly Calendar in Excel

Another great way to stay organized is to create a weekly calendar with hour-by-hour blocks. You can create full a 24-hour calendar or limit it to a typical work schedule.

  1. Open a blank Excel sheet and create the header row. Leaving the first column blank, add the hour when you typically start your day to the first row. Work your way across the header row adding hour until your day is complete. Bold the whole row when you’re done.

  2. Leaving the first row blank, type out the days of the week in the first column. Bold the whole column when you’re done.

  3. Highlight all rows that include the days of the week. Once all are highlighted, resize one row to a size that will allow you to write in your daily/hourly agenda.

  4. Highlight all columns that include the hours of each day. Once all are highlighted, resize one column to a size that will allow you to write in your daily/hourly agenda.

  5. To print your new daily agenda, highlight all cells of the agenda. Select File > Print. Change the orientation to Landscape. Select Page Setup, select the Sheet tab, and then enable Gridlines under the Print section. Change Scaling to Fit All Columns on One Page. This will fit the daily agenda to one page. If your printer can support it, change the page size to Tabloid (11″ x 17″).

How to Make a Custom Yearly Calendar in Excel

For some people, a yearly calendar is more than enough for you to stay on task all year. This design concerns the date and month, rather than the day of the week.

  1. Open a blank Excel sheet and, leaving the first column black, add January to the first row. Work your way across the header row until you reach December. Bold the whole row when you’re done.

  2. Leaving the first row blank, type out the days of the month in the first column. Bold the whole column when you’re done.

    Remember to remove non-existent dates from the months that are not 31 days long. Those include: February (28 days—29 days in a leap year), April, June, September, and November (30 days).

  3. Highlight all rows that include the days of the month. Once all are highlighted, resize one row to a size that will allow you to write in your daily agenda.

  4. Highlight all columns that include the months of the year. Once all are highlighted, resize one column to a size that will allow you to write in your daily agenda.

  5. To print your new yearly agenda, highlight all cells of the agenda. Select File > Print. Change the orientation to Landscape. Select Page Setup, select the Sheet tab, and then enable Gridlines under the Print section. Change Scaling to Fit All Columns on One Page. This will fit the agenda into a single page.
