How to Make an Interactive Calendar in Excel? (FREE Template)

If you like to plan ahead and make a weekly or monthly schedule, having a calendar in Excel could be quite useful.

In this tutorial, I’m going to show you how to create a calendar in Excel that automatically updates when you change the month or the year value.

I will show you the exact process to create the interactive monthly and yearly calendar, and I also have these as downloadable Excel files, so that you can use them offline.

You can print these calendar templates and manually create the schedule on paper.

Before I get into the nitty-gritty of making the calendar in Excel, let me show you what the final output would look like.

Demo of the Interactive Calendar in Excel

Below is an example of the interactive monthly calendar in Excel where you can change the month and year value and the calendar would automatically update (you can also highlight holidays or specific dates in a different color).

It also highlights the weekend dates in a different color.

And on similar lines, below I have the yearly calendar template, where when you change the year value the calendar automatically updates to give you the calendar for that year.

The weekend dates are highlighted in a different color and if you have a list of holidays (or important dates such as project deadlines or birthdays/anniversaries), then those holidays are also highlighted in the calendar.

Now let me quickly explain how I have created this calendar in Excel.

Some Pre-requisite Before Creating the Interactive Calnedar in Excel

While most of the heavy lifting in this calendar is done by some simple formulas. you need to have a few things in place before you make this calendar.

Have the Holiday List and Month Names in Separate Sheets

Before starting to make the calendar, you need to have the following two additional sheets:

  • A sheet where you have a list of all the holidays and the dates on which these holidays occur. You can also use this to add important dates that you want to get highlighted in the calendar (such as birthdays, anniversaries, or project deadlines)
  • A list of all the month names . This is for the monthly calendar template only, and is used to create a drop-down that shows the month names.

If you download the calendar template for this tutorial, you will see these two additional sheets.

For the sake of simplicity, I have kept these two sheets separate. If you want, you can also combine and have the holiday dates and the month names on the same sheet.

For this calendar, I have used the holidays in the US. You can change these to your region’s holidays, and even add important days such as birthdays or anniversaries so that they can be highlighted in the calendar.

The data from this holiday sheet would be used to highlight the holiday dates in the calendar.

Create Drop Down Lists To Show Month Names and Year Values

Since I want this calendar to be interactive and allow the user to select the date and the year value, I will:

  • Have a cell where the user can input the Year value
  • Create a drop-down list that will show the month names from where the user can select the month

Note that the month drop-down list is needed only for the monthly calendar template, as in the yearly calendar template all the months are shown anyway.

Below are the steps to do this:

  • Enter Year in cell A1 and Month in cell A2
  • In cell B1, enter the year value manually (I will use 2022 in this example)
  • Select cell B2
  • Click the Data tab
  • In the Data Tools group, click on the Data Validation icon
  • In the Data Validation dialog box that opens, in the Settings tab, in the Allow options, make sure List in selected
  • In the Source field, enter =’Month Names’!$A$1:$A$12 (or select the field and then go the Month Names tab and select the month names in column A)

The above steps would give you a drop-down list in cell B2, where you can select the month name.

Now that we have a place to enter the year value and select the month name, the aim here is to create a calendar that would automatically update as soon as we change the month/year values.

So it’s time to go ahead and build that awesome calendar in Excel.

Creating the Monthly Calendar in Excel (that Auto-updates)

You can download this monthly calendar template by clicking here

The first thing I need to build this monthly calendar is to have the weekday names in a row (as shown below).

After entering the day name , I’ve also given it a background color and increased the column width a little.

Now it’s time for the formulas.

While I can create one single formula that will give me the values in the calendar grid that I have created, it would become quite big.

So for the purpose of this tutorial, let me break it down and show you how it works.

For the formula to work, I will need two values:

  • The month number for the selected month (1 for Jan, 2 for Feb, and so on)
  • Getting the Weekday value for the first day of the selected month (1 if the month starts on Monday, 2 if it starts on Tuesday, and so on)

Formula to get the month number of the selected month:

Formula to get the weekday value of the first day of the month

I have the output of these formulas in cells M4 and M5 as shown below.

Now that I have these values, I will be using these in the main formula that I will be using in the calendar grid.

Below is the formula that will give me the dates in the calendar:

This is an array formula, so you just need to enter it in cell D5, and the result would spill automatically to all the other cells in the calendar.

Note: This formula would only work in Excel for Microsoft 365, Excel 2021, and Excel for the web. This is because it uses the SEQUENCE function, which is a new formula and is not available in the older version of Excel.

In case you’re not using Excel for Microsoft 365 or Excel 2021, you can use the below formula instead:

Enter this formula in cell D5, and then copy and paste it for all the other cells in the calendar grid.

The result of the formula is the date serial number, so you may either see a serial number (such as 44562) or a date.

While this is good enough, I only want to show the day number.

Below are the steps to change the format of the cells to only show the day number from the date value:

  • Select all the cells in the calendar
  • Hold the Control key and press the 1 key (or Command + 1 if using Mac). This will open the Format Cells dialog box
  • Select the Numbers tab in the Format Cells dialog box (if not selected already)
  • In the Category options. select Custom
  • In the Type field, enter d

The above steps would only display the day number in the calendar.

As I mentioned, I broke down the formula to make it easier for you to understand how it works. In the templates you download, I have used one single formula only to generate the entire calendar.

Adding a Dynamic Title for the Calendar

The next step in making this dynamic calendar would be to add a dynamic title – that would tell us for what month and year does the calendar shows.

While I can see these values in cells P1 and P2, it would be easier if I create a title that shows me the month and year value right above the calendar.

To do this, I have used the below formula in cell D3:

This is a simple concatenation formula that combines the value in cell B2 and cell B1 (separated by a space character)

If you make any changes in the month and year selection, this value would automatically update along with the calendar.

I’ve also done the below cosmetic changes to make it look like a header and align it to the center of the calendar:

  • Select cell D3 and change the color and size of the text and make it bold
  • Select cell D3:J3
  • Right click and then click on Format Cells
  • In the Fomat Cells dialog box, click on the Alignment tab
  • Select Center Across Selection option in the Horizontal drop down

Highlight the Weekend Days

This one is simple.

Just select all the days in the calendar which represent the weekend and give it a different color.

In this example, since Saturday and Sunday are weekend days for me, I have highlighted these inner light yellow color

Highlighting Holidays in the Calendar

And the final thing that I want to do in this calendar is to highlight all the days that are holidays in a different color.

As one of the previous steps, we already created a separate holiday worksheet where I listed all the holidays for the current year.

Something as shown below:

Below are the steps to highlight all these holiday dates in the calendar:

  • Select all the cells in the calendar (excluding the day name)
  • Click the Home tab
  • In the Styles group, click on Conditional Formatting
  • In the Conditional Formatting options, click on New Rule
  • In the New Formatting Rule dialog box, select the option – ‘Use a formula to determine which cells to format’
  • In the field that shows up, enter the following formula:
  • Select the format in which you want to highlight the cell with holiday date (click the Format button to choose the color)

The above steps apply a conditional formatting rule in the selected cells, where each date in the calendar is checked against the holiday list that we provided.

In case the formula finds a date in the holiday list, it’s highlighted in the specified color, else nothing happens

That’s it!

If you follow the above steps, you will have an interactive dynamic monthly calendar that would automatically update when you make the year and month selection. It would also automatically highlight those dates that are holidays.

Creating the Yearly Calendar in Excel (that Auto-updates)

You can download this yearly calendar template by clicking here

Just like the monthly calendar, you can also create a yearly calendar that automatically updates when you change the year value.

The first step in creating the yearly calendar is to create an outline as shown below.

Here I have the year value in the first row, and then I have created the monthly grids where I’ll populate the dates for the 12 months. I have also highlighted the weekend dates (for Saturday and Sunday) in yellow.

For the yearly calendar, we don’t need the Month Names sheet, but we would still be using the holiday list in the Holidays sheet to highlight those dates that are a holiday.

Now let’s start building this yearly calendar.

Have Month Names Above Each Month Calendar

For this yearly calendar to work, I will somehow need to refer to the month value in the formulas for that month (i.e. 1 for Jan, 2 for Feb, and so on)

Let me show you a cool trick that will allow me to use the month number but at the same time instead of showing the number show the month name instead

Follow the below steps to do this:

  • In cell B3, which is the left-most cell above the first month calendar grid, enter 1
  • With cell B3 selected, hold the Control key and press the 1 key (or Command + 1 for Mac). This will open the Format Cells dialog box
  • In the Format Cells dialog box, make sure the Number tab is selected
  • Click on the ‘Custom’ option in the left pane
  • In the ‘Type’ field on the right, enter the text “January”

The above steps format cell B3 to show the full month name. And the good thing about this is that the value in the cell still remains 1, and I can use these values in the formulas.

So while the value in cell B3 is 1, it is displayed as a January.

Pretty Cool… right!

When you do the above, you may see the ## signs instead of the month name. This happens when the cell width is not enough to accommodate the entire text. Nothing to worry about – this will be sorted we align the text in the center (covered next)

You need to repeat the same process for all the months – where you enter the month number in the top-left cell in the above row off the calendar month grid (I,e, 2 in J3 and 3 in R3, and 4 in M12 as so on).

And for all these numbers, you need to open the format cells dialog box and specify the month name for each number.

This is just a one-time setup, and you won’t be required to do this again.

Also, you can reposition the name of the month so that it appears in the center above the monthly calendar grid.

You can do this using the Center Across Selection technique.

To do this:

  • Select cell B3:H3 (for January Month)

After doing this, the month names will be shown right above the monthly calendar and aligned to the middle.

You can also format the month name if you want. In the calendar I have made, I made the month name bold and changed the color to blue.

Once you have done this for all the months, you will have the structure in place, and we can go ahead and enter the formulas.

Formulas to Make the Dynamic Yearly Calendar

Similar to the monthly calendar, you can use the below formula for January:

As soon as you enter the formula in cell B5 for January, it will spill and fill the entire grid for the month.

And again, since we are using the SEQUENCE formula, you can only use this in Excel for Microsoft 365, Excel 2021, and Excel for the web.

You can use the same formula for other months as well, with one minor change (replace $B$3 with $J$3 for February, $B$3 with $R$3 for March, and so on).

This is because we have the month number for each month in a different cell, and we need to refer to the month value for each month in the formula.

And the final step of creating this dynamic yearly calendar is to highlight those dates that are holidays (these dates are specified in the holiday worksheet).

  • Select all the cells for the month of January month (B5:H10)
  • Click on Conditional Formatting
  • Click on New Rule from the options in the drop-down
  • In the field that shows up, enter the following formula: =ISNUMBER(VLOOKUP(B5,Holidays!$B:$B,1,0))
  • Click the Format button to specify the format for the cells (I chose yellow color with red border)

The above steps would check all the dates in January and highlight those that are marked as a holiday in the holiday worksheet.

You will have to repeat this process for all the months with one minor change.

In the following formula that we use in conditional formatting, you need to replace cell B5 with the top-left cell reference of that month.

For example, if you are doing it for February, then instead of B5, use J5, and for March, use R5.

Once done, all the holidays will be highlighted in the yearly calendar as shown below.

In the downloadable templates that I have provided, I have made sure that the entire calendar would fit one single sheet when printed.

So this is how you can create an interactive calendar in Excel that automatically updates when you change the month value and the year value.

I hope you found this tutorial useful.

Let’s begin!

ClickUp Calendar View Blog CTA

An Excel calendar is like any other calendar 📆, just on Microsoft Excel. 

You can use it as a daily planner , weekly planner, task planner, and even create a printable calendar. In project management, teams often use Excel to create project calendars (like a quarterly calendar for finances) and timelines to track tasks and resources.

After all, if there’s data that needs organizing, there’s Excel.

And whatever be your need for an Excel calendar, there’s more than one way to create it. 

Just Google ‘create calendar in excel,’ and you’ll see what we’re talking about.

Here are some ways you can create a calendar in Excel:

  • Using Microsoft’s code : use Microsoft’s ‘Visual Basic for Applications’ code to create a calendar
  • Using Power Query for Excel : Power Query is an Excel add-in that uses pre-built functions to merge, remove, pivot, filter rows, and columns
  • Using Pivot Tables : a Pivot table summarizes the data of another large table 
  • Using Excel calendar templates : pre-made calendar layouts that can adapt to your needs
  • Create one manually from scratch : formatting Excel data in rows and columns to create a calendar

Note : you can even create calendars in Google Sheets , Google Docs , Microsoft Word or PowerPoint if you like, or use these other calendar apps .

In this article, we’ll give you a step-by-step guide on how to create a calendar in Excel from scratch, using the manual approach.

Here we go!

Follow these simple steps to create a calendar in Excel from scratch. 

The steps work for Excel Online, the Excel 2010 version, and up.

Step 1: Add the days of the week

Open a new Excel file and name it the year you want. 

For this example, we’ll name ours ‘ Calendar 2021 ’.

Then, type in the days of a week in the second row of the Excel sheet.

spreadsheet listing the days of the week

Step 2: Format cells to create days in a month

Now, insert the days of a month under the row that contains the weekdays.

The days will be a calendar table or grid of seven columns (seven days a week) and six rows (to accommodate 31 days), as highlighted in the image below.

spreadsheet listing days of the week with several columns selected

To format the cells, let’s start with the column width.

Select the seven columns ( A-G ), and adjust the first column’s width to the size of your liking. All seven columns will automatically take the same size when you do so.

That was easy, right?  

Now let’s adjust the row height with a very similar process. 

Select six rows ( 3-8 ) under the ‘ days of the week ’ row and adjust the first row’s height to your desired size. All six rows will again automatically take the same height.

It’s taking shape and already looks like a calendar! 📅

In the next step, add the digits for the days and align them to each cell’s upper-right corner representing a day.

To do so, highlight the grid of seven columns and six rows under the weekday header row and then right-click on any selected cell.

Select Format Cells > Alignment .

Set the horizontal text alignment to Right (Indent) and the vertical text alignment to Top . Click on OK, and the cells will get aligned.

Excel's Format Cells Window

Now, insert the numbers in the cells. 

Refer your laptop or mobile’s calendar or just Google Calendar 2021, and that should help.

This will help you find out which day of the week your calendar should start on. In 2021, Jan 1st was a Friday, so you start numbering January from F3 .

Insert the numbers sequentially till you reach the last day of the month.

spreadsheet formatted like a calendar

Since this is the January calendar, name it so. 

Highlight the cells in the first row from A1 to G1, and then click on Merge & Center .

In the merged cell, type in January , and voila, your first month is ready!

Change the font size and font color to your preference.

spreadsheet formatted as a January calendar

Step 3: Create the next month

Since a year has 12 months, you have to create 11 more tabs, each representing a month in your Excel workbook.

Copy the January worksheet to create the February sheet. 

To do so, right-click on the January tab and select Move or Copy .

When the Move or Copy dialogue box appears, select (move to end) > check off Create a copy > click OK .

Excel will create a new calendar sheet as ‘ January (2) .’ 

Rename the sheet as ‘February’ and then edit the days’ numberings on the sheet accordingly.

Don’t forget to change the month name to February in the first row of the Excel worksheet.

Quick Tip : if you want to find today’s date, just click on a cell outside the calendar grid, and click on the formula bar. Type =TODAY() and hit enter , the current date will appear.

spreadsheet displaying multiple dates

You can always change the date format to your preference.

Step 4: Repeat the process for other months

Repeat the above step for the rest of the ten months. 

Make ten more copies of the ‘January’ tab and edit the dates and month titles accordingly.

How long have you been at it?

But it’s the last one, we promise.

You’ve now learned how to create an entire calendar in an Excel spreadsheet from scratch!

We know what you’re thinking: isn’t there an easier way to go about creating a calendar ?

Well, you could always use an Excel calendar template …

There are several Excel free calendar templates available on the web, and the options can leave you feeling overwhelmed.

Don’t worry. 

Here are three free Excel calendar templates so that you can skip the research:

1. Weekly calendar template for 2021

This is a great weekly calendar to note down your to-dos for each day.

Why would anyone create an Excel calendar when there are calendar apps that provide more functionality? 🤔

Our thoughts exactly.

Excel calendars aren’t ideal and here’s why:

Not only is creating an Excel calendar from scratch a lengthy process, but most of its templates lack flexibility.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. 

Here are three more limitations that might have you searching for an excel alternative .

1. No drag and drop abilities

If you’re looking for a calendar that’s flexible and interactive, an Excel calendar isn’t the right choice.

There’s no way you can drag and drop items on your calendar. Rearranging calendar items will take you a fair amount of time with all the cutting, copying, and pasting.

So an Excel calendar is like a wall calendar on my screen?

Pretty much.

2. Can’t create or assign tasks

A calendar in Excel is… just a calendar. 

It’s not a tool that helps you perform workflow-related tasks.

Need to create tasks on the calendar? Not possible.

Need to assign tasks? Nope, you can’t.

If you’re okay with just knowing the day and date or typing in data on a calendar, Excel works for you. 

However, if you want to do more than that on your calendar, you’ll have to look elsewhere.

3. Creating reminders can be an annoying process

Calendars and reminders should go hand in hand, right?

You don’t want to miss out on important dates, tasks, or meetings. 

Unfortunately, you will if you use an Excel calendar because there are no easily accessible reminder options here. 

Depending on the approach you take, you may have to learn conditional formatting, an Excel formula or two, a bit of Visual Basic, and understand what the developer tab is…

We know, you’re probably already thinking about Excel calendar alternatives .

Yearly Calendar Features:

1) Choose the Year and the Starting Month

Enter the starting year and month at the top of the calendar. For example, if you are creating a yearly calendar for school year 2023-2024 or 2024-2025, you can start with month=8 (August). For those who use a fiscal year for their business planning, this yearly calendar is just right.

2) Sunday or Monday First

Much of the world uses a calendar that starts on Monday rather than Sunday. Our yearly calendar now includes this option.

3) Vertex42 Style

We enjoy making spreadsheets that are both simple , stylish , and user-friendly . Sometimes creating something with style requires us to use advanced features. For example, the yearly calendar template uses conditional formatting to make the blank cells light blue.

You can delete the conditional formatting and add your own formatting to highlight specific dates in the calendar. To delete the conditional formatting, select all the cells in the calendar and go to Format > Conditional Formatting > Delete.

4) Changing the Calendar Color

The easiest way to change the colors in the yearly calendar is to change the theme. Go to Page Layout > Themes > Colors.

Other Yearly Calendars

  • Vertex42's Perpetual Calendar - This is one of our most recent creations, which combines the yearly event calendar with 12 monthly calendars, all in a single workbook.

Example prompts to try with Microsoft Copilot with Graph-grounded chat

Experience the power of Get started with Microsoft Copilot with Graph-grounded chat  (formerly named Microsoft 365 Chat). See how much time you can save and how much more you can get done. Use Microsoft Copilot to catch up, create content, and ask questions. This article provides several example prompts you can try.

Tip:  When you’re giving Copilot instructions, you can direct it to specific work content by using the forward slash key (“/”), then typing the name of a file, person, or meeting.  If you write a prompt and don’t reference a specific file, person, or meeting, Copilot will determine the best source of data for its response, including all your work content.

Synthesize large amounts of data into simple, consumable responses and catch up on things quickly. Here are some examples:

You've been on vacation now you're back. You need to find out what's going on with Project X. Find the latest about Project X. What's the current timeline? When are deliverables due?

You've just joined a new team and you're trying to ramp up on recent activities. Summarize team communications over the last 30 days. What are the team's priorities? 

There's been a recent change in how your team is tracking work. Find information about the new way our team is tracking work. Include email communications and points of contact for questions.

Create content

Brainstorm ideas and draft new content based on information at work. Here are some examples:

You want to draft a one-page description of a new project (let's call it Project Foo) that's just about to kick off at work. Using information in file1, file2, and file3, write a one-page description of Project Foo. Write it so non-technical people can understand what the project is about and when it's scheduled to be completed.

You're preparing an email to invite customers to attend an upcoming conference and visit your company's booth. Using information in Document Z, write a fun, catchy email inviting our customers to come see us at our booth during next month's conference.

You want to plan a morale event for your team. List 3-5 ideas for group activities in the Seattle area that would be suitable for my team. Include approximate cost and time estimates. 

Ask questions

Find information and get answers quickly, even if you can't remember where the information you need is or how it was shared. Here are some examples:

You need to know what's left in the budget for supplies. How much did we spend on supplies for Project Foo?  How much budget do we have left for Project Foo?

Your team received customer feedback. You want to identify the top things your team should address. Review the feedback we received from customers via email last week. What are the top three issues we should address?
