TIPS TO CUSTOMIZE THE 2024 CALENDAR TEMPLATE

1. How to change formatting (colors/fonts/borders)?

The google spreadsheet calendar template 2024 designs are completely customizable and formatting is no exception. You can style the calendars as per your favorite colors and fonts. This won’t affect the functionality of the template calendar negatively. 

Steps: 

• Select cells to change the formatting. In the image below, 2 months are selected. 

• To use some border options you have to unprotect the sheet (this will be explained later in the article). 
• Note: Even if you change the font color, the color of the dates for Weekends will remain in red, unchanged. However, the rest of the dates can be displayed in any color. 
• Holidays and Events are designed with preset colors and even if you change the fill color, the days with Holidays and Events will not change. 

2. How to change Event and Holiday colors?

Using conditional formatting, you can change the event and holiday colors. 

• To use this, first select the sheet you want to format
• Then, choose Conditional Formatting from the Format menu.

• A dialog box will show all the rules we have used in the worksheet. We can edit each of the rules separately. 

• Click on one of the rules; it will show the conditions used for formatting. For instance, the below image shows the condition for Holidays.
• Modify the text color, fill color and font formats as per your needs and click on “Done.” In the below image, you can notice that the Holidays have a yellow font with a green fill color. Note that you can choose your custom colors for the sheet as well. 
• Now, you can see the changes applied on the entire calendar sheet. Save the file to preserve the changes.

3. How to change the order in which events/holidays appear on the calendar?

Usually, Holidays and Events appear on the calendar in the way they have been listed on the table (in the Settings sheet). If you have entered the Holidays and Events in a random order on the table then you can sort the list to order them appropriately. You can sort them in ascending order (A – Z) or in descending order (Z-A). And click on “OK.”

4. How to unprotect (unlock) sheets?

The above-mentioned customizations can be made normally. However, for further customizations, you have to unprotect the sheets. 

INDZARA is the password for unprotecting the sheet. Once the customizations are done, protect the sheets again to avoid any accidental edits on the sheets.
