The English new year is knocking at the door, and even though you can easily use several Calendar apps on your Android to see the days, create reminders, and appointments, and get the ultra-sophisticated tools, hardly anything can beat the convenience of a printed calendar on your desk or wall. If you are not willing to wait for somebody to get a calendar for you, you can easily build a calendar in Google Sheets with just a few clicks, and even you can build one while commuting.
Once you know the trick, or better, the neat method, you can create a Gregorian calendar not just for 2023 or 2024, but any year that you want. Well, I haven’t tried creating the calendar for the year 9999, even though I am highly optimistic about human beings enjoying 31st December 9999 to welcome the new year. So, today I will basically talk about how to build a calendar in Google Sheets.
That said, without any further delay, let’s get started with the method.
Build a calendar in Google Sheets web and app
Open Google Sheets, and log in with your regular Google account. Even if you are not a Google Sheets user, you can easily create the calendar as long as you have a Google account.
Now that you have logged in to Google Sheets, you can find a handful of templates for different purposes. Here you have to select and click on ‘Annual Calendar’.
By default, you will get the current year calendar, or the 2022 calendar, as it is 2022 while writing the article, but you can simply change the year to see the magic.
Just change the year to 2023 to build a calendar in Google Sheets for the year 2023.
You can get a hard copy of the sheet, and the calendar of the year as per your choice will be with you. You can also save the calendar as a PDF file on your computer if you want.
Here, you can also add monthly events using the tabs corresponding to the months. There isn't enough space to add multiple appointments, however, you can effortlessly add holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, and similar other events.
Customize the calendar on Google Sheets
While there aren’t enough options for customization, you can change the theme colors, font style, and similar other elements.
Click on ‘Theme’ from the ‘Format’ button in the menu bar, and select the theme of your choice.
Just go ahead with the theme based on your likeness.
So, that’s how to build a calendar in Google Sheets. Based on your work and list of holidays, you can also mark the weekends and holidays red, or do other effortless changes to make the calendar suit your exact needs.

A desk calendar is a type of calendar that is designed to sit on a desk or table. Unlike wall calendars, which are typically hung up on a wall, desk calendars are meant to be a more personal and interactive way to keep track of appointments, tasks, and important dates. Desk calendars come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and designs, and are typically made from materials such as paper, cardstock, or plastic. Bobangles
