I'm so excited! I'm planning on making a monthly meal planner with drop-down fields to pick from a list of recipes so this setup is PERFECT! The only thing I changed was the date formatting. I wanted the dates (numbers) for the previous and following months to be hidden so i had to add 2 formulas in conditional formatting, but it only took a second to figure it out. I literally did a happy dance in my chair when i was finished building the calendar lol. Thanks so much for the very helpful tutorial.

Hi Ryan, thank you for such a great video! Unfortunately the formula =DATE(C3,MATCH...) doesn't work in my excel. Do you have any solution for that? Thank you very much in advance!

Where are you located? If you reside in a country that uses a comma as the decimal separator for numbers rather than a period, then your Excel formula syntax may use semi-colons instead of commas as the argument separator. So try using semi-colons instead of commas. That might be the issue.

That was great thank you! The conditional formatting formula didn't work for me though so just created 2 rules, one for date occurring last month and one for next month

I had the same issue but when I went back into Conditional Formatting to edit, I pressed Stop If True for the MONTH(B7) Formula and it worked.

@09thezodiac oooh! I ended up making 2 formulas like OP, but I'll keep this tip in mind for the future. Thanks!

This is perfect and exactly what I need! However, I can't get the prior month to grey out. Do I type in MONTH manually, or is there a specific button I should click when writing the formula.

@spreadsheetlife 3 ай бұрын

So awesome to hear!! 😄 As for the conditional formatting formula to get the prior month to grey out, you have to type in MONTH manually when writing this formula. And be sure that you have your references and the dollar signs correct as well.

I would like to ask something. When I write something in one cell of the calendar, and then change the month, it shows in the next one. That is, if I write something on January 10th, it will be there in February as well as in all the months. How can I write something in a cell, and it does not carry over to the next months? Thank you very much

@spreadsheetlife 9 күн бұрын

Good question. See part 2! kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHeriYaXrt9_rKs In part 2, I show you how to add events that will also change when you change the month and year.

@@spreadsheetlife in the last steps i type =INFA(IF(VLOOKUP(B7;Events;2;FALSE)=0;"";VLOOKUP(B7;Events;2;FALSE));"") ...but it shows me #ONOMA? (ONOMA is "name" in Greek). am i doing something wrong ?

@spreadsheetlife 8 күн бұрын

If you are seeing that error, it may be a compatibility issue. Are you working in an older version of Excel? Change the IFNA function to IFERROR instead. Let me know if this fixes the problem.

How would I edit the formula to create a calendar to just show week days (Monday to Friday) thx

@spreadsheetlife Ай бұрын

It would require a few different changes and adaptations to the formulas. If you send me an email at info@spreadsheetlife.com, I can give you some ideas.
