    Re: How to auto populate details into calendar

    In my opinion the most important thing is to make sure that you use proper dates, not use text like Monday, this should be a date formatted as "mmmm"

    Then you can use Lookup functions to populate events.

    I've posted xamples here of you search
    Hope that helps.

    How do you expect VLOOKUP to work? The lookup value is a number, there's no numbes in the leftmost column of the data,

    Hi Nancy,

    I've amended one of my calendar files to suit your requirements. I just need to amend some conditional formatting in the file, so I'll post it later.

    Re: How to auto populate details into calendar

    Hi Nancy,

    file is attached. Enter details of your visits in columns B to D of the Visits sheet in any order - you can hide column A if you wish, as this contains a formula copied down to row 1000. On the Calendar sheet you can select the month and year of interest using the drop-downs in cells Z4 and Z5, and the display will automatically adjust, showing up to 7 activities per day. All done by formulae, so no need for VBA on this one.

    Hope this helps.

    Pete

    Re: How to auto populate details into calendar

    Hi Pete,

    Came across your name again in related post. I would like to attach the spreadsheet I created. Look at Sheet2. Enter date into Site Visit Day 1 (A) and it auto-generates the other dates. Is there a way to link this spreadsheet to a calendar as well as the column headings as the activity?

    Thanks,
    Susan
