    Hi,
    I downloaded this 2025 Calendar template. I checked the custom tab. Is it possible to change the weekend Fri & Sat.

    Thanks

  2. Nitesh says:

    Activities of some dates are not getting displayed on "Any month" and "printable calendar" sheets.
    e.g. Activity of 24 Apr 25.

  3. Kristin Finn says:

    Love this calendar... I have highlight planner dates enabled but all dates are blue, is it possible to customize the color based on the type assigned to each date?

  4. Peter says:

    What would be the right way to add more Holidays in the Customizations?

    Inserting rows in the Holiday List causes the blank cells in the calendar to turn Blue.

  5. Gabe says:

    This is amazing!!! The best I've seen so far!! Is it possible to update it to consider a column for the final date? That way, if an event lasts more than one day, it repeats in the calendar

  6. Kalaignan says:

    How do we change/insert the customization "Icon Options" ?

  7. Jackie William says:

    Is there anyway this can turn into an academic calendar (ie. start month is July and runs all the way through June of next year)?

  8. Rebecca says:

    Is there a way to make it something that is more than a day without having to add it to every day of that week.
