Create a pseudo Calender?

Guest

I need to create a calender-type worksheet for 2006/2007.

All I actually need would be dates in row 3 with the first initial of each
day in the row above, eg:

M T W T F S S M
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 etc.

Is there a template available somewhere, please?

Regards,
Stuart.

In A3 type your start date (eg 01/01/2006) and format the cell as Custom
with Type as d.
In B3 type =A3+1
Copy this cell as far across as you need

In A2 type =LEFT(TEXT(WEEKDAY(A3),"ddd"),1)
Copy this cell across the sheet as far as you need.

Bear in mind that you wont be able to create a whole year in this way as
Excel only has 254 columns.

Ian,

Thanks, but not working for me. A3 value shown as 1, but B3 is 38719 where
formula is A3+1.
Using Excel 2003.
Did you custom format type d, or dd?

regards,
Stuart.

Sorry, I forgot to add that you need to format each cell on row 3 the same
as A3. Copy A3, then paste special>formats to the rest of the row.

FYI, Excel stores dates a numbers starting from 1 Jan 1900 making your 38719
equivalent to 2 Jan 2006.
