Lets assume, we want to make the calendar for year 2. So write that in a cell (G3). Now, in a range of 3. First date will be =DATE(G3,1,1)Next 3. Step 2: Calculate Day, Month, Year and Weekday. Using DAY(), MONTH(), YEAR(), WEEKDAY() calculate the day, month, year and weekday for each of the 3. Step 3: Determine the week number in a month. Now comes the tricky part. We need to find out which row each date should be displayed. First take a look at this illustration. The logic for calculating row numbers is very simple: First day of a month is always in row number 1. If a day is not Sunday, we just use previous row number. On Sundays, we just increment the previous row number and use it. All of this can be expressed in a simple IF formula =IF(D7=D6,IF(F7=1,G6+1,G6),1)D7 contains this month, D6 is previous day’s month. F7 contains weekday, will be 1 for Sunday and 7 for Saturday. G6 contains previous row number (weeknum)Step 4: Dealing with Leap years. So far we are good, except for a minor glitch. Certain years have 3. That means, depending the year, we need to either use 3. To do this, we create a named range tbl. Dates that refers to below formula: =IF(Calcs!$D$3,Calcs!$B$5: $G$3. Calcs!$B$5: $G$3. Note: D3 is TRUE when an year is leap year. Step 5: Create pivot table that shows calendar. Now, we need to create a pivot table from the range tbl. Dates. Set up your pivot table like this: Step 6: Add a slicer. To enable users to select a particular month interactively, just add a slicer on months. For this,Select any cell in the pivot table and go to Options Ribbon > Insert Slicer. Select Month as field to insert a slicer. Adjust slicer properties to show items in 6 columns (Slicer Options Ribbon > Columns)Done! At this point, you can interactively select a month & see the corresponding calendar.
