anyone know how to make this calander work as part of a conditional formula. ie: a formula that will reference this calander to EXCLUDE days like weekends and holidays? Sort of (>if, the formula happens to calculate a day that falls on a weekend < then skip to the next weekday)?

I'm not a programer...

thanks.

why did no-one consider doing some simple conditional formatting so that todays date is highlighted.

This reminds me of this mousetrap I saw in The Shaper Image.

OK, I gotta admit, you lost me on this one. I think this is where the generational thing starts to happen, and my lack techpertise really begins to show…

dforester: great suggestion–I didn’t know about the Calendar Control!

vex: your suggestion will work, depending on your calendar needs. That method will make dates, but only in a column or row–not both. Also, it’s not dynamic, so it won’t auto-update when you open the sheet in the following month.

Why not enter the first day of the month manually and then use the Excel “fill” feature? Just drag the mouse and fill the cells with values.

Depending on your needs, you can also use the calendar control – It creates an object rather than filling the calendar in cells, which you can wire up with VB, etc.

- View… Toolbars… Control Toolbox
- Choose the bottom-left for “More Controls”
- Choose “Calendar Control 11.0″ (or whatever version)
- Place & size it how you like.
