    Angry Help i am trying to create a live calender!!? Please

    Hi guys

    I am trying to create a one month calender that changes accordingly each month. Basically what I mean is that instead of having 12 monthly calenders for each month mannually made, I would like one calender that changes based on what date it is. Conditional formatting can be used to highly the current day or date but I am trying to make everything automated if that makes sense. Please not the following:

    DAY: #?
    MONTH: =TEXT(TODAY(),"MMMM")
    YEAR: =TEXT(TODAY(),"YYYY")

    I have the calender laid out the way I want it to however, I am struggling formulating a formula for each individual day. Please help

    I have attached a copy of the file named Calender Planner.


    **apologies I am having problems attaching the excel file

    I've set up the necessary formulae to generate the calendar for you in the attached file.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Pete

    Thank you very much for taking your time out to help me out with the formula I appreciate that a lot. Does this mean that in April the dates will automatically change and update accordingly ?

    regards

    It should do. Using Control Panel, change your system date temporarily to 1st April to check it out.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Pete

    I have tried to change the month by just manually typing in April but it does not seem to have an effect on the days of the month. Thank you for taking your time and replying me I think its the days of the month I am having a problem with simply because the month and the year can be changed but then the days themselves are proving difficult for me. The formula you gave me works miracles and have finished the whole database I was trying to build however its just trying to ensure that the calender is a live and functional calender.

    regards

    I've changed the file so that instead of looking at TODAY(), the formulae now look at the date in cell O1, so you can change this how you wish to simulate other days (you could just put =TODAY() in O1 to return it to how it was).

    Hope this helps.
