In this video I demonstrate how to create a dynamic monthly calendar in Excel 365 or Excel Online. The calendar uses the following functions DATEVALUE, WEEKDAY and SEQUENCE. Using conditional formatting the calendar highlights bank holidays and the current date.
00:00 Introduction
00:22 Create the drop-downs for month and year
01:58 Use DATEVALUE to return the first day of the selected month
03:15 Use WEEKDAY to return the weekday number of the first day of the selected month
03:58 Use SEQUENCE to populate the calendar with dates
06:40 Combine all formulas into a single formula
07:53 Format the calendar
08:55 Grey out dates that don't belong to the selected month
11:28 Display bank holidays in a different colour
14:01 Highlight the current date

Great! Thanks Chester!!

Really useful tutorial, your explanation was excellently delivered, it must have been as it worked first time for me.
I also wondered if the calendar you had on the right used similar formatting but I did further wonder about the directional up and down function to the right of the month field.

Good one!👏👍

Thank you!!!

[@anyandeveryistaken]

Superb.

[@colinknaggs7440]

Very interesting and informative. Thank you. My question is: How can I make the cells which are not part of the month return a blank? Not use cell formatting as that just hides the value.

[@karlhazzard2593]

cracking video, really made sense. one question, how do I write in the date box? do I need to put it on the sheet list and then add it like the bank holidays??

Great tutorial! Slightly rhetorical question; Is there a way to integrate this calendar on top of an existing spreadsheet with its own widths of the columns and heights of the rows, without changing these original column widths and row heights? I would thinks something like an insert on top of the existing spreadsheet and the insert stays in place on that position.

[@barksennui8255]

How can I use this dynamic calendar and make it populate when I click on a cell to then select a date to then print that into the selected cell?

[@eduardo_yuzo]

How can i do the same without the SEQUENCE formula? My office is the professional plus 2019.

[@ladydaeli6801]

i tried this in spreadsheet, but i can't apply the holiday formatting. any suggestion? spreadsheet conditional formatting keep saying "the formula is not valid"

[@user-yn8ev5yn7u]

I have followed your process but haven't got the holiday
