How does this Calendar work?
This is the same file as 2012 calendar with the year changed. The new feature is event planner. So I will explain that alone.
- First take a look at either 2011 calendar or 2012 calendar pages to see how the basic calendar is constructed.
- In the daily events tab, we have full calendar for 2013 (or any other specified year) listed one day per row (so maximum rows are 366).
- Each day can be marked as one of the 4 types of events – Important , Anniversary, Holiday or Vacation.
- When you mark a day with either of these 4 events, in an extra column, a formula determines which event it is and places a number (between 1 to 5 – 1 for Important, 2 for Anniversary … 5 for no event)
- Back in the full calendar, we use conditional formatting to color a day based on what number is associated with it in daily planner.

- COUNTIF formulas are used to count how many days are marked as Important, Anniversary or Holiday and summarized in the full calendar view.
Go ahead and enjoy the download. The file is unlocked. So poke around the formulas and named ranges. Learn some Excel.

Really greate Chandoo
Thanks! Awesome gift.
Not seeing the monthy calendar in this download. Just the 12 month, daily & mini.
Please download this version – http://img.chandoo.org/d/2013-calendar-with-event-planner-v2.xlsx it contains monthly calendar too with events marked.
Hi Chandoo
I have added the monthly calendar also to the events calendar. It is an awesome spreadsheet, thanx! One question as above, what is the quickest way to have the days coloured (maybe labelled?) for each monthly calendar to reflect the event colours of the ‘full’ tab? Looking for the quickest way to copy across the conditional formatting to the monthly tab also.
Thank again
Jason
@Jason: thanks. Since you and many others have asked for it, I modified the event calendar to show monthly calendars with event colors too. Download it from here:

Regarding your question:
The quickest way to apply CF to monthly calendars is,
Thanks Chandoo! Much appreciated. I also just modified the event calendar myself to show calendars with events colours. I worked out how to merge the CF across to the Monthly calendar with no issues
Jason
Awesome
Excellent… work..
Good work Dear Chandoo.
Thank you..
Chandoo,
Thanks for building such a great resource and community on Excel.
My calendar is also focussed on events and holidays. User can enter up to 100 personal events that will be displayed on the calendar and also highlighted using conditional formatting. In addition, U.S. holidays are calculated and highlighted.
The calendar can be customized for any year, starting with any month, and the week can start with any day.

Feedback from this great community is welcome. Thanks.
I have also added a 2013 Tamil Calendar if anyone is interested in a calendar template with Tamil Nadu Government holidays and Tamil months.

This is awesome, thank you!
How do I change the titles of the event types? Probably pretty basic, but I am far from being an Excel guru. I love that it keeps count of the event types used in the notes area, it is great for keeping track of vacation time used.

This is great!! I have MS excel 2010. I am trying to make a dropdown calendar. Having the toughest time with this. Co worker has MS Excel 2003 Same issue. Do you have something already made? Would appriciate it!!
