My favorite Excel books
Since I use a variety of Excel features, I have not one but 5 favorite books.
Excel 2010 Bible by John Walkenbach
This is an all round book that offers excellent details, examples and feature explanations. You can get the same book for 2007 or 2013 too.
Excel Power Programming book by John Walkenbach
This is my go to book for all things VBA. I have it on my desk most of the time and just flip thru it to grasp a new concept or solidify something I already know.
DAX Formulas for Power Pivot by Rob Collie
This is my go to book for Power Pivot. I must have read it a dozen times already and just love Rob’s prose & explanation style.
Information Dashboard Design by Stephen Few
More on design level. I rely on this book to come up with amazing dashboard designs you see here.
And of course, I got to love my own The VLOOKUP book. It is a comprehensive book on Excel lookup formulas.

I recommend these books because I read them several times, I really love them, and I would have recommended them even if there is no affiliate commission.
11 Responses to “FREE Calendar & Planner Excel Template for 2025”
Hi,
I downloaded this 2025 Calendar template. I checked the custom tab. Is it possible to change the weekend Fri & Sat.
Thanks
It is. Just use the option for fri & sat weekend (should be 7).
Activities of some dates are not getting displayed on "Any month" and "printable calendar" sheets.
e.g. Activity of 24 Apr 25.
Can you check again? The date in "planner" sheet should be a proper date. When I tested with 24-apr-2025, it works.
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?
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.
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
How do we change/insert the customization "Icon Options" ?
You can adjust these from the settings tab.
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)?
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.
