Yearly Calendar Features:
1) Choose the Year and the Starting Month
Enter the starting year and month at the top of the calendar. For example, if you are creating a yearly calendar for school year 2024-2025 or 2025-2026, you can start with month=8 (August). For those who use a fiscal year for their business planning, this yearly calendar is just right.
2) Sunday or Monday First
Much of the world uses a calendar that starts on Monday rather than Sunday. Our yearly calendar now includes this option.
3) Vertex42 Style
We enjoy making spreadsheets that are both simple, stylish, and user-friendly. Sometimes creating something with style requires us to use advanced features. For example, the yearly calendar template uses conditional formatting to make the blank cells light blue.
Vertex42 Style
You can delete the conditional formatting and add your own formatting to highlight specific dates in the calendar. To delete the conditional formatting, select all the cells in the calendar and go to Format > Conditional Formatting > Delete.
4) Changing the Calendar Color
The easiest way to change the colors in the yearly calendar is to change the theme. Go to Page Layout > Themes > Colors.
