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 2011-2012 or 2012-2013, 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 new 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.

You can delete the conditional formatting if you want 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

Probably the easiest way to change the colors in your yearly calendar is to modify the color via the Color pallette (Tools > Options > Color tab).
