If this formula looks a bit confusing, let me explain how it works. In the A3 cell we need to add this formula =DATE(G1 MATCH(A1 $Settings.A1:A12 0) 1). An idea would be to get the first day of the month. Let’s now focus on how we’re going to get that first date. I’ll tell you the reason why we want 6 rows, a bit later. However, the moment we know that date, we can just add 1 (one day) to that value until we have six rows. Most of the time it’s not going to be the 1st of the current month, but, more likely, one of the last days in the previous month. First, we have to know what is the first date in our calendar. Now that the top section is ready, we get on with the rest. For me the week starts on Sunday, but if you’re interested in an example with the week starting on Monday check out the A4 calendar template. Let’s continue by adding the days of the week in the row under the month and year. You have two options, either write the year or you can use the current year formula =YEAR(TODAY()). In this design it’s placed on the right side, at the top. Now that we know how wide a column needs to be, select the first seven columns and then from the menu choose Format -> Column -> Width…. This will make sure the calendar will never be wider than the page width. Yes, the result is a longer number, but only use the first two decimals.

To get the column width subtract the margins from the full page divide the result to 7. Let’s have a look at our page settings again. So we just need to divide the width of our page to 7. We have seven days in a week, so our calendar will be seven columns wide. We need figure out the width of the first seven columns. Remember, this calendar has to fit on a sheet of paper. I also merged the first 3 cells to have more space for the longer month names.īefore we add the year we need to do some work on the layout of the page. I chose to increase the font size to 40 and to make it bold. So since we have the month name section done, let’s style it. My approach to making this calendar is to style each part as soon as it’s ready. By clicking on that button you should see the drop-down list with all the months. Hit OK and you should see a button with an arrow pointing down next to the first cell. This gets all the cells starting from A1 to A12 in the “Settings” sheet. Then in the “Source” field we are going to write the formula that defines the range we want: $Settings.$A$1:$A$12. In the first tab, “Criteria”, choose “Cell Range” from the “Allow” options. Then, from the menu bar go to Data -> Validate….Ī panel called “Validity” should show up on the screen. Next, let’s switch back to the “Month Calendar” sheet and then select the first cell (A1). This list of month names will be used as the source for a drop-down in the first sheet. Technically, they can be written in any language, but for this tutorial I used English to keep things simple. Here we’ll define a list with the months. The 1st sheet became “Month Calendar” and the second one, “Settings”. So I deleted the third sheet and renamed the first two. Those lines define the print area.īy default, OpenOffice creates three sheets in a new spreadsheet, but we only need two for this project. The default values are fine, but I decided to use “nicer” values.Īfter you click OK you might notice some darker lines in your spreadsheet. One more thing we need to do in this panel is to set the margins. I opted for “US Letter”, but you can choose A4 if that’s the standard in your country. In the “Page” tab change the paper format to the one you want. That can be achieved by selecting Format from the menu and then clicking on Page….
