Subscribe2010 Calendar – Excel Template [Downloads]
Here is a 2010 new year gift to all our readers – a free 2010 calendar template.
(a little secret: just change the year in “outline” sheet from 2010 to 2011, to get the next years calendar. It works all the way up to year 9999)
You can add notes to individual dates or complete month using the excel template very easily. There are 14 sheets,
- The first one called as “outline” calendar (also shown below) shows the calendar for entire year.
- The next 12 sheets show the monthly calendars from January thru December. Each month’s calendar also includes a snapshot (uses camera tool) of the previous and next month’s calendar. You can also add up to 6 notes per each date in the calendar. This is a good way to mark holidays, vacations and other important dates in the calendar.
- The last sheet shows a mini calendar – a compact yearly calendar for the year 2010 (or any other year specified in the Outline sheet). This is a good way to print a small calendar for your pocket or desk.

How the calendar works?
Just in case you are curious to know how the formula magic works.. read on.
- To generate a calendar, we need to know the year. Lets say the year is in cell A1.
- Now, for each of the 12 months – Jan thru Dec, we need to know what is the “first weekday” and “how many days” are there in that month.
- This is very simple to find, we can use formulas like
=WEEKDAY(DATE(A1,1,1))and=DATE(A1,2,1)-DATE(A1,1,1) - Now, make a grid of 6 rows by 7 columns – something like this -
- Show blanks until we reach the first date’s weekday.
- Start showing numbers in increasing order.
- Once you reach the number of days in that month, show blanks again.
- Repeat this process for all the 12 months. Neatly arrange the grids so they look like a calendar.
- That is all!
Go ahead and download the free calendar template. The file is unlocked. So poke around the formulas and see how it works.

Afternoon,
I have one similar calander that I added conditional formatting to so that I could highlight any planned factory holidays. I think i “borrowed” the formula from another calander so I won’t post it here.
I also added week numbers to it using the formula =WEEKNUM(MAX(C6:I6)) Where C6:I6 is the range of dates in that give week. It works fine on most of the months but return strange values on other months (Week 6 in October?) I can’t see any logic behind why it does this.
Any suggestions for an alternative formula to give the week numbers?
Regards,
William
Hi Chandoo,
I’ve added a new feature on your spreadsheet.
This control can be useful for all the sheets where you need to check dates.
Cheers

Hi Chandoo,
Nice calendar.
Till now whichever calendar I saw in Excel, it contained only the outline sheet.
Good to see monthly views and the mini view too.
Liked the mini view much.

@William: This weeknum may be because the input dates to max are not properly formatting as excel dates.
Good tip on the conditional formatting and holidays btw…
@Migueal: Now that is super awesome. This is the reason why I love to blog. Readers will always one up me with such cool alternatives. Thank you for sharing this with us.
@Nimesh: You are welcome
is it possible to get the Notes section on the outline page to display the notes added to the month page for a specific date?
So if you add thing for January 2nd, and then select January 2nd those notes appear on the outline page
@Shish… You can do that using some formula magic. I would not recommend pushing excel to that as outlook / google calendar / icalc etc. do exactly that much more elegantly.
Happy christmas to all of you!
This is really awesome. The nicest calender I’ve seen for Excel. I also like Miguels version of the sheet.
Just one “feature” is missing to me. As I live in Germany – where weeks start on Monday – I’d like to change this. Could someone please give me a hint how to do this?
Thanks in advance
Jörg
Hi Chandoo, I’ve added some new features on your spreadsheet with your permission.
Check it here:
http://cid-6b219f16da7128e3.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/Calendar%5E_Pedro.xlsm
Miguel, this calendar is translated to Spanish language.
Jörg, this new approach allows us to start weeks on Monday.
Also it’s possible to start weeks on Sunday if you enable Excel macros and push the arrows.
Best Regards,
Pedro.
@Pedro.. superb stuff.. thanks for sharing the file with all of us.
Hi Chandoo, for dates before March 1, 1900 our calendars are wrong.
In Microsoft Excel, DATE, EOMONTH, WEEKDAY functions return an incorrect result between Monday, January 1, 1900 and Wednesday, February 28, 1900.
See this page: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/214326/en-us/
Microsoft Excel incorrectly assumes that the year 1900 is a leap year in all Excel versions.
That’s the reason why our calendar versions only work from March, 1, 1900 until December, 31, 9999.
Your comments are welcome.
Pedro.
@Pedro.. Thanks for pointing that out. wow… This reminds me of the Joel Spolsky’s first BillG review – http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2006/06/16.html (read it, I am sure you would love it.) when Bill out of blue asks about date time implementations for VBA (which Joel is the program manager for…)
Thanks for sharing the URL too… Here is a specially made, chocolate sprinkled, extra fluffy donut for you
Hi Chandoo, thanks a lot for the donut but I prefer it without chocolate!
Always it’s good to know a little history of Excel.
The Joel Spolsky’s last BillG Excel review was about the “Hall of Tortured Souls”
(See this Excel 95 Easter Egg here: http://www.eeggs.com/items/719.html)
Do not miss the humor!
