| Video Discription | Microsoft Excel Tutorial: Create an Event Calendar in Excel. Welcome back to the MrExcel netcast! In today's episode, we will be tackling a great question from Matthew, who manages a club in Washington, D.C. Matthew needs a way to easily see which days the club is reserved for events. So, we will be building an event calendar that highlights the reserved dates. To start off, we will insert a new worksheet and enter a Sunday date. Then, we will use a formula to add one to that date as we go across and copy it across seven cells. In the next row, we will take the date above and add seven, and copy that down for however far we want the calendar to go. This can be for a few weeks or even the entire quarter. Next, we will do some formatting to make the calendar look more like a traditional one. We will change the font to a smaller size and use a custom number format to show only the month and day. We will also align the dates to the upper right corner and add borders to make it look more like a calendar. Lastly, we will make the cells taller to give it a more square shape. Now, the challenge is to highlight the reserved dates on the calendar. Normally, Conditional Formatting does not allow us to refer to cells on another worksheet. However, we can overcome this by creating a named range for the dates on the Events worksheet. Then, we can use this named range in a conditional format on the Calendar worksheet to highlight the reserved dates in a different color. To test if this works, we can add a new date on the Events worksheet and see if it automatically gets highlighted on the Calendar worksheet. And sure enough, it does! As time goes by and more events are added, the calendar will automatically update to show the next 13 weeks. Thank you for tuning in to this episode of the MrExcel netcast.
