How do I insert the MS Calendar control in my worksheet?

Excel 97-2010, 2010 only the 32 bit version

Note: Read the info good, if you want a solution for all excel versions a custom calendar in a add-in is a better option, check out the links on top of this page for more information.

Excel 97-2003
Use Insert-Object on the Worksheet Menu Bar.
Select the control in the list and press OK.

Excel 2007-2010
On the Developer tab use Insert > ActiveX Controls….More controls.
Select the control in the list and press OK
Click on a cell on your worksheet.
Press the "Design Mode" button next to the "Insert button" to turn of Design Mode.

Note: To display the Developer tab in Excel 2007 go to Office Button >Excel Options...Popular
In Excel 2010 : File>Options..Customize Ribbon, check Developer in the Main Tabs list on the right.

Excel 97-2010
It is possible you don't see it in the list, because it is installed with Access in Excel 97-2007. So if you don't have that program installed you possible don't have the control. Note: The control is removed from Office 2010 but you can register the 2007 version. This will only work in Excel 2010 32 bit. If you don't have the control you can download it, see the link on the bottom of this page.

Note 1: If you protect your sheet in Excel 97-2000 then you must format the range first with the Date format you want and remove this line ActiveCell.NumberFormat = "mm/dd/yyyy" In Excel 2002 and up you be able to protect your worksheet and allow Format cells.

Note 2: This code is not working if there are Merged cells in the range, but you can use this:
Excel 97-2003: Format>Cells>Alignment Tab ... Center Across Selection. Excel 2007-2010: In the Cells group on the Home tab use : Format>Format Cells>Alignment Tab ... Center Across Selection

Where do I copy the code?

After you insert the control on your sheet you can add the code in the worksheet module. Right click on the sheet tab and choose view code. Paste the code in the sheet module that is active now and press Alt-Q to go back to Excel. Note: Calendar1 in the code below is the name of the control.

Private Sub Calendar1_Click()     ActiveCell.Value = CDbl(Calendar1.Value)     ActiveCell.NumberFormat = "mm/dd/yyyy"     ActiveCell.Select End Sub  Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)     If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub     If Not Application.Intersect(Range("A1:A20"), Target) Is Nothing Then         Calendar1.Left = Target.Left + Target.Width - Calendar1.Width         Calendar1.Top = Target.Top + Target.Height         Calendar1.Visible = True          ' select Today's date in the Calendar          Calendar1.Value = Date     ElseIf Calendar1.Visible Then Calendar1.Visible = False     End If End Sub

If you select a cell in the Range A1:A20 the Calendar will popup and when you Click on the calendar the Date will be placed in the active cell. If you select a cell outside the range the Calendar will disappear.

Note: You can use this if your range is not one area
If Not Application.Intersect(Range("A1:A20,C1,E1"), Target) Is Nothing Then

Tip 1: If the cell value is a Date and you want that the Calendar popup with that date selected you can replace this line Calendar1.Value = Date for

          If Not IsDate(Target.Value) Then             Calendar1.Value = Date         Else             Calendar1.Value = Target.Value         End If

Tip 2: If you want that the calendar disappear when you click on a date in the control you have two options. After ActiveCell.Select in the Calendar_Click event add this line.
Calendar1.Visible = False

Or select a cell next to the date cell, Replace ActiveCell.Select for:
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select

Week number code examples

You can use the code below if you also want to insert the week number in the active cell. The examples use the DblClick event to insert the week number and week day in the cell.

Excel Week Number / Week Day

If you also want a to be able to use the Calendar control to add the Week Number and Week Day in the active cell you can copy this event also in the sheet module.

Private Sub Calendar1_DblClick()          'This will insert the Weeknumber / Weekday in the cell          ActiveCell.Value = "W/D " & VBAWeekNum(Calendar1.Value, 1) & " - " & _                        Application.WorksheetFunction.Weekday(Calendar1.Value, 1)     ActiveCell.Select End Sub

If you DblClick on the Calendar the Week Number and Week Day will be placed in the active cell. You also need the function below to use this. Copy the function in a normal module of your workbook.

Alt-F11
Insert>Module in the menu bar
paste the Function below in this module
Alt-Q to go back to Excel

Function VBAWeekNum(D As Date, FW As Integer) As Integer      VBAWeekNum = CInt(Format(D, "ww", FW))  End Function

ISO Week Number / Week Day

If you want to use the ISO week number instead of the Excel week number then use the following code.
Replace the Calendar1_DblClick event and the function of the example above with

Private Sub Calendar1_DblClick()          'This will insert the ISO Weeknumber / Weekday in the cell          ActiveCell.Value = "W/D " & IsoWeekNum(Calendar1.Value) & " - " & _                        Application.WorksheetFunction.Weekday(Calendar1.Value, 2)     ActiveCell.Select End Sub

Public Function IsoWeekNum(d1 As Date) As Integer          ' Daniel Maher          Dim d2 As Long     d2 = DateSerial(Year(d1 - Weekday(d1 - 1) + 4), 1, 3)     IsoWeekNum = Int((d1 - d2 + Weekday(d2) + 5) / 7) End Function

Download the Calendar control if you not have it

Download the control from MVP Graham Mayor's site and read the information in the PDF that you also find in the download good so you know how to register the control. Note: The 2007 version will also work in Excel 2010 32 bit but not in Excel 2010 64 bit
