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.
    Conditional Formatting Rules in 2013 Excel Calendar template
  • 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.

    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 

    • Chandoo says:

      @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:

      http://img.chandoo.org/d/2013-calendar-with-event-planner-v2.xlsx

      Regarding your question:

      The quickest way to apply CF to monthly calendars is,

      1. Apply CF rules for 3 color shadings (vacations in blue, anniversaries in pink and important in orange) for Jan 2013 month alone.
      2. Then Edit the rules for Jan 2013 in CF rule manager screen.
      3. Change the range of cells for which this CF should be applied to and include ranges for rest of months by holding CTRL and selecting these additional ranges.
      4. Click apply.

       

      • Jason says:

        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 :)

    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.

    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.

  14. dIEGO says:
