Learn how to create a vertical to-do list calendar.

Creating a vertical calendar in Excel is simple! First, you'll want to set up your spreadsheet with the dates running down the left-hand column and the days of the week across the top row. This will make it look like a traditional calendar layout. To make it look even more like a calendar, you can add borders around each cell and color-code important dates or events. A vertical calendar is just a calendar that is oriented vertically, with the dates stacked on top of each other instead of spread out horizontally. Excel does indeed have a built-in calendar template that you can use as a starting point, making it even easier to create your own personalized calendar. Additionally, if you're looking to create a rolling calendar in Excel, you can utilize formulas to automatically update the dates based on the current date, ensuring that your calendar is always up-to-date. While Excel does offer various planner templates, you can customize your own to suit your specific needs and preferences.

00:00Here is how we can create a vertical calendar that looks and operate like this.
00:04For the very first date in the calendar, we're going to say equal date.
00:08And the first argument on the function will be year, as in B3.
00:11And the second argument will be the month at cell C3.
00:14And the third argument, since this is the very first day of the month, we're going to say 1, close
00:19parenthesis, and hit enter.
00:20For the subsequent date at cell B7, we're going to use this formula.
00:25This formula handle cases where we are only showing dates for the same month.
00:29And then apply the same formula for the rest of the row until the 31st itself.
00:34For the weekday, we're going to say equal text, B6, get the date.
00:38And the second argument will be AAA, which is an abbreviated name for day of the week.
00:44And then apply the same formula for the rest of the rows.
00:46Next, we'll color the weekend cells so that we can distinguish them from regular weekdays.
00:50You're going to select cell C6 to C36.
00:53And you go home style, conditional formatting, manage rule.
00:56And you're going to say new rules and use formula to determine each cell to format.
01:00And you're going to use this formula.
01:02This formula essentially looks for Saturday and Sunday.
01:04And then we're going to format, field tab, and basically change the color of the field to orange.
01:09And click OK twice.
01:11Next, we'll create a drop-down list for a year using data validation.
01:15The steps are as shown on the screen.
01:16And for the month, we're going to add the spin button by going to developer, control, insert.
01:21And under the form control, there's a spin button.
01:23Place the spin button somewhere here.
01:25Right-click on your spin button and click on format control.
01:28Select control tabs.
01:30And then under current, we're going to assign one minimum value as one, maximum value as 12, and cell link
01:35as C3.
01:36And we're going to press the enter key twice.
01:38And then you're done.
01:39And then you're done.
