RE: Richard, Excel calendar

Hi Grace,

I am looking into the Calendar in Excel.
Someone at Goldsmith's also asked Today if an Outlook "calendar" could be exported to Excel and "edited".
Once I come up with an Answer I will let you know.

Kind regards

RE: Richard, Excel calendar

Hi Grace,

If I remember correctly, you wanted to have a Date Picker box (mini Calendar) pop up to select the dates.

This was in Excel 2007 but has been removed in the latest version Excel 2013.

They are offering it as an Add-in to Excel (at cost) but it isn't a Standard option.

The link is below

I will upload an Excel Sheet formatted as a Calendar. This doesn't link to Outlook, that isn't something we can do without some advanced VBA coding in Excel.

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Create your own custom list on Excel 2010!

If you know how to use the auto-fill option on Excel then why not create your own customs lists?

The auto fill feature saves you time by allowing you to enter one of the list entries into a cell and then use your mouse to automatically drag the rest of the list into the cells below, above or to either side of the initial cell. When using your mouse to perform this task you will see a thin black cross appear at the bottom right hand side of the cell. Click, hold and drag to make the list appear.

Default lists include weekdays and months. To create your own list in Excel 2010 do the following;

>File
>Options
>Advanced
>Scroll right to the bottom of the page and you will see a buttom "edit custom lists", click this button
>enter your list in the list entries
>click add

Now try it out. Good luck.
