The Excel Calendar Template

An Excel calendar pays dividends for years and is shaped to fit.

Store your calendar on the office computer (PC or Mac - Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac works perfectly for me) and just print it out once you've designed it.

Store your appointments, meetings and events you need to attend. Refer to the Excel calendar when needed without becoming 'time-paranoid' or miss your colleagues at the next important corporate event.

Design your own Excel calendar at no cost (or very low cost - see these templates for more). Whether color or simple black and white, you have infinite possibilities with an Excel calendar!

Follow these steps to make a calendar in Excel:


  • Identify whether you want to print out or use the calendar for your personal office use. For printing, determine the size of paper to be used.
  • Larger designs may be made and printed in computer or printing outlets while A4 sized calendars may be printed at home. Determine how many months you want on each page.
  • Open up the Excel program to a new file. This will start you with a blank spreadsheet.
  • Some computers already have a calendar template on their system. Check this by accessing the templates folder from 'My Network Places.' Or find calendar templates at the Microsoft Office website when you create a new workbook.
  • Look for the type and style of Excel calendar that you need from the Microsoft Office Web. Click download to acquire the template. With this template you can make use of the format whenever needed.
  • Change the colors of each month or day to organize the calendar in a style you prefer. Customizing the Excel template by making Monday the first day of the week (for example) can help manage your work week!

No need to purchase other calendars or notebook planners when using an Excel calendar. You just need the basics - Microsoft Excel, a computer and (if needed) an Internet connection!

Making a calendar in Excel is a very convenient way of managing the things that you need to attend to each month!

Using Your Excel Calendar Template

Depending on your needs, a good Excel calendar template allows you to enter the year and generate an infinite number of printable yearly or weekly calendars.

Customize colors, fonts, borders and save as themes. (Or create your own theme!) Print and design calendars of your color and choice.
