How to Make a Calendar in Google Sheets
A calendar in Google Sheets is a 7-column grid (Mon–Sun) with date numbers in cells and optional formatting for weekends and events.
Start from a template
- From the Google Sheets home page, click Template gallery at the top.
- Pick Annual calendar or Schedule—they include the layout, weekday headers, and date placeholders.
Build one from scratch
- In Row 2, type the weekday headers: Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun.
- Bold the header row and freeze it: View → Freeze → 1 row.
- In the rows below, fill the date numbers (e.g. start on Wed = 1, then 2, 3, … across each row).
- Merge cells A1:G1 for a month title (e.g. May 2026).
Highlight weekends and events
- Select the date cells.
- Format → Conditional formatting → custom formula like
=WEEKDAY(A3)=7to color Saturdays. - Use a second rule for events—e.g. Text contains "Holiday" → light red fill.
Reuse for next month
Duplicate the tab (right-click → Duplicate), update the title, and shift the dates—weekday headers and formatting carry over.
