How to use this?
This is a very simple Excel template. Just follow these instructions.
- Once you download the file, you would find 4 sheets inside.
- Go to the Monthly Calendar tab and play with the calendar. If you want to change colors, fonts etc. do that.
- Now, go to Pics tab. Here we have 12 pics (preloaded with some cute cats & dogs)
- Remove all the pics and add your own.
- Once you added the pics, resize them so that they can fit in Column B (800 px). Each photo should take up 2 rows (total 600 px maximum)
- Once you have added the photos, arrange each photo in 1 cells, starting from B2 (thus 12th pic will be in B24&B25)
- That is all, go back to Monthly calendar to check out your own personalized picture calendar.
Bonus: Click on the “Make 12 month PDF” to generate 12 month-wise calendars pdfs.
How does this work?
This calendar uses some of my favorite techniques,
- Picture links – to display picture for any given month
- OFFSET, INDEX formulas – to drive the calculations
- Macros – to change the month
To help you understand how this works, I have made a short video explaining the template, the VBA code & formulas. Go ahead and watch it below:

2 Responses to “Top 10 Power BI Interview Questions & Answers”
Hello...
In Power BI I have data that includes months by name only (e.g. May, April, December...)
I need to build charts etc. but i need the months to go chronologically... not alphabetically... I cannot seem to find the fix to this.... once again, my data does NOT have an actual date attached to it (like 02/01/2023)....only month names... can i use a helper table wher i id the month names as numbers 1 thru 12? and if so, how do i manage this to work for me ?
Thank you.

You need to setup an extra table to map each month name to a running number. A simple 12 row table like
Jan 1
Feb 2
Mar 3
..
Dec 12
Then create a relationship between this month table and your month column
Now, go to "table view" in Power BI and set the sort by column to month number for the month name column on this new table.
Finally, use the new table's month name whenever you need to refer to the month name in the visuals.
They will be chronologically arranged.
