Explanation of Google Sheets Calendar Template
Firstly, a sheet tab named 2021 has been created in Google Spreadsheet. In this sheet, the 2021 yearly dataset has been added such as the list of months, dates as per the day, and so on.
You can easily replicate this yearly calendar template. All you have to do is, add 12 months and move to the start day of January 2021. Now simply add the date manually and used the fill handle to fill upcoming dates. By doing so you can format the yearly calendar in less than 10 minutes.
Once the yearly calendar has been created, 12 different sheet tabs have been added to the 2021 calendar sheet. Each tab is named with a month name such as Jan 2021, Feb 2021, and so on.
Now move to the Jan 2021 sheet tab. Here enter 7 days’ names in the week such as Monday, Tuesday, and so on. The year 2021 commenced on a weekday Friday. So move to the Friday Cell and simply enter the formula “=‘2021’!G4″.
Formula Explanation =‘2021’! refers to the sheet name. 2021 is the yearly calendar tab that we created earlier. So basically we are calling the value from the cell G4 in the 2021 sheet tab. Since cell G4 has the value as “1”, it is reflected here. Now use the fill handle to apply the formulas to other cells which will fetch the dates from the yearly calendar (2021) to update the dates in the monthly calendar.
Follow the above process for the next 11 months and Google Sheets yearly and monthly calendar template is ready.
