Date Picker Calendar in Excel VBA

Oftentimes, users want to click a button and select a date. This is no different for Excel developers. Check out this ActiveX control by Microsoft that allows users to do just that. It’s a little old school looking, but actually has quite a nice feel to it.

Start by creating a userform and enabling the control by Right-clicking on the Tools menu and click Add additional tools

Now, let’s add this to the userform!

In the downloadable workbook, you’ll see the control was renamed to ‘fCal’. When you double-click the control you’ll see the following code which is the DateClick event of that control:

code snippet

This userform cleverly has two labels to store relevant info on the Userform that summoned it. 1.) The name of the userform that called it and 2.) The name of the control or textbox that needs the date sent to it.

Then, this code above loops through all userforms in your project until it finds one that matches the label for the Userform (lblUF) and the label for the textbox needed (lblCtrlName).

Also, you may need to enable Microsoft Windows Common Controls -2 6.0 (SP6) by using Tools->References and clicking:

Ah, The complexities of automation! The versatile and multifaceted world of Excel VBA offers an array of tools and functionalities to streamline tasks and make life easier. Yet, despite its vast offerings, not all versions of Excel VBA come equipped with the desired calendar control, one that would allow for the selection of dates in a visually appealing manner, instead of the tedious manual input of dates into cells or text boxes. But fear not! For we shall embark on a journey, one that will unravel the mysteries of crafting a customized, dynamic calendar in Excel VBA using VBA User Forms and Command Buttons.

Step 1: Baffling Beginnings

Our journey begins with the creation of a User Form, a task achieved by navigating to the VBA editor and right-clicking on the ‘Project’ option in the Project Explorer, selecting ‘Insert’, followed by ‘User Form’. Voila! A new User Form will mysteriously appear, waiting to be customized to your whims and fancies.

Step 2: Commanding Conundrum

Next, we add a series of Command Buttons to the User Form, buttons that will act as our navigational tools, leading us through the calendar and enabling us to switch between months and years. And, to further confuse the matter, we add combo boxes, providing the option for the user to choose the month and year.

Step 3: Cryptic Code

With the controls in place, it’s time to delve into the code, to bring our dynamic calendar to life. To start, we write a function to generate the calendar based on the selected month and year, populating it with the correct number of days and illuminating the current date. And, as a bonus, we add a feature to highlight already existing dates in the text box or label by comparing the dates and marking them with a small star symbol, making the calendar even more user-friendly.

Watch the step-by-step video tutorials to learn the design and coding

Step 4: Calling the Calendar

Finally, with the dynamic calendar fully functional, we can summon it in our VBA project by using the ‘SelectedDate’ function. There are two methods to call this function:

Method 1: Call Calendar.SelectedDate(Me.TextBox1)

Method 2: Me.TextBox1.Value = Calendar.SelectedDate

The first method calls the calendar control and passes the value of the text box to the ‘SelectedDate’ function, while the second method calls the calendar control and assigns the selected date to the text box.

Move the Calendar control in from One to another VBA Project:

Just move this calendar form in your VBA project just drag it using mouse

Bursting with Conclusions

And there you have it, a perplexing puzzle solved, a dynamic calendar crafted with the use of Excel VBA User Forms and Command Buttons. The calendar control, now at your beck and call, can be used in various VBA projects, and is easily summoned using the ‘SelectedDate’ function. And, with a few modifications, additional functionality, such as highlighting of existing dates or changes in style and appearance, can be added to further confuse and bewilder.

This Fully Functional Dynamic Calendar Control in VBA, we have designed to use in VBA project. You can use it for Excel Cells, Textbox, Label and Command Button etc. It is extremely easy to call this Calendar for your VBA Project. You can call this with two methods.

The sample file (added at the end of the post) has a Userform, Module and a Class Module. To incorporate this into your project, simply export the Userform, Module and the Class Module from the sample file and import it into your project.

Class Module Code

In the Class Module (Let’s call it CalendarClass) paste this code

Public WithEvents CommandButtonEvents As MSForms.CommandButton

'~~> Unload the form when the user presses Escape
Private Sub CommandButtonEvents_KeyPress(ByVal KeyAscii As MSForms.ReturnInteger)
    If Not f Is Nothing Then If KeyAscii = 27 Then Unload f
End Sub

'~~> This section delas with showing/displaying controls
'~~> and updating different labels
Private Sub CommandButtonEvents_Click()
    f.Label6.Caption = CommandButtonEvents.Tag

    If Left(CommandButtonEvents.Name, 1) = "Y" Then
        If Len(Trim(CommandButtonEvents.Caption)) <> 0 Then
            CurYear = Val(CommandButtonEvents.Caption)                
            With f
                .HideAllControls
                .ShowMonthControls

                .Label4.Caption = CurYear
                .Label5.Caption = 2

                .CommandButton1.Visible = False
                .CommandButton2.Visible = False
            End With
        End If
    ElseIf Left(CommandButtonEvents.Name, 1) = "M" Then
        Select Case UCase(CommandButtonEvents.Caption)
            Case "JAN": CurMonth = 1
            Case "FEB": CurMonth = 2
            Case "MAR": CurMonth = 3
            Case "APR": CurMonth = 4
            Case "MAY": CurMonth = 5
            Case "JUN": CurMonth = 6
            Case "JUL": CurMonth = 7
            Case "AUG": CurMonth = 8
            Case "SEP": CurMonth = 9
            Case "OCT": CurMonth = 10
            Case "NOV": CurMonth = 11
            Case "DEC": CurMonth = 12
        End Select

        f.HideAllControls
        f.ShowSpecificMonth
