Microsoft Excel
The most common method used in offices to create a calendar on the fly is to use Microsoft Excel, the spreadsheet manager integrated within the Microsoft Office suite. To create a calendar with Excel we open the program, press on the side on the menu New one and, in the search box, we type Calendar.
The program will show some calendar templates useful for the office, school or other activities, ready to fill in or customize according to our needs. After choosing the template to download, the Excel page will open with the cells to be modified: in most cases it is sufficient to enter the year, the day of departure and the photos to embellish the panels proposed by Excel.
