What a detailed and easy-to-follow tutorial! Exactly what i needed, thanks!! Because im making this in late October, the dates take up quite a bit of space when initially entering them. My last day extends over on to the next whole page. I tried changing the page orientation and it all fits in one when on landscape, which is great. However, do you know how i could fit it all in on a portrait page? Thanks, keep up the good work!

Hi, Aadam. You can set this in the Page Setup options. On the Page tab, in the Scaling section, select Fit to and set it to 1 page wide by 1 page tall. Just make sure to check the Print Preview to make sure it's not so small you can't ready it. You could also apply Wrap Text to the dates so you can make the columns smaller. You'll find this in the Home tab, in the Alignment section. Thanks! 🙂

Great work! What I would find very useful is an option to schedule a meeting in between two time slots. For example: Lets assume I have a meeting from 9:45-10:15. Is there also a method to generate a table with flexible times? Alternatively I guess I could increase the granularity for the timeslots from 30 min to 15 min.

I thought the same thing... I couldn't listen to what she said, process it, AND watch what she was doing and comprehend THAT In such a terribly short amount of time. Stopping, rewinding, rewatching, and sometimes repeating is almost worse because I can't maintain the information in my head for long enough. (OH ADHD, how I love thee! 😂) What you can do, however (even WITHOUT ADHD 😉), is go up to the gear, choose "playback speed", and adjust it accordingly. A number smaller than 1.0 is SLOWER, a number larger than 1.0 is FASTER. (Personally, I can't handle slowing it down any more than 0.75. Voices are obviously affected when speeds change. If it's too slow, they start to sound as if they are in the process of falling asleep... If it's too slow, they start to sound as if they are additional/replacement members of the Alvin and the Chipmunks band! 👉😖👈) Whether you go faster or slower, don't forget to turn it back to normal after you are finished watching that video/videos by that creator!!! 😅😅😅

Hey! Thank you for this video. Pretty much self-explanatory. Can u tell how to copy same format for next weeks?. I mean how to copy paste the table on horizontal and vertical pages next to this one.
@YAcostaSolutions
@YAcostaSolutions 4 жыл бұрын
Hi, Tarun. You can either use copy and paste to copy this next to the original on the same sheet or make a copy of the sheet. To make a copy of the sheet, place your cursor on its tab, right-click and select Move or Copy. Then check off the option for “Make a Copy” and click OK. Either way, you'll need to update the dates. You can then use Format Painter to copy the Conditional Format to your new copy. To use Format Painter, select the entire original week, click Format Painter from your Home tab's Clipboard section, then select your new copy. The formatting, including the Conditional Format, will now be copied over. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have more questions.

Hi, Ryan. I'm trying to think of ways you can do this, but, first, what does your year calendar that you're linking to look like and how do you want it to look like? For example, is it laid out with the months and the dates (with no room for notes?). Where you're looking to create links back to the weekly calendar? Or are you looking to populate the weekly calendar activities into the day in the year calendar (I kind of think this could end up looking overwhelming)? Or do you have a different layout? Thanks

@YAcostaSolutions 4 жыл бұрын
Hi, Sumaya and thank you! Adding new weeks should not affect the formatting. You can extend the calendar to the right by adding new columns for future days or you can copy the whole tab to create a new one (on the tab at the bottom of the sheet, right-click and select "Move or Copy" and check off "Create a Copy"). You can insert a formula on the first date that would reference the last day of the sheet for the prior week and add 1. Or you can just type in the new date. On the activities / meetings area, you can select them all by highlighting them and pressing Delete on your keyboard to clear them out. This will not affect the formatting for any new meetings. I hope this helps! 🙂

@YAcostaSolutions
@YAcostaSolutions 4 жыл бұрын
Hi, Refugio Rivas. See if this formula helps you: =(COUNT($A3:$A23)-COUNTBLANK(B3:B23))*"0:30" Here's how this formula works: -The first part counts the cells in range A3:A23 that contain a value. Where A3:A23 refers to the cells in the column that contains the time labels. -It then subtracts any blank cells found in cells B3:B23 (with this range being all the time slots for the first day). If your first day is a Monday, then Tuesday would be C3:C23, etc. And the cells with no activities would be the blank ones. -It then multiplies the difference by "0:30". This represents 30 minutes for each time slot. If each is 15 minutes, then you would multiply by "0:15", and so on. Last, you should apply custom formatting to the cell with the result. It would look like this: [h]:mm. I have a tutorial on time formatting that can help you understand this formatting. If you're interested, you can watch it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndOmh7ByqN2YYmQ.html Please let me know if this works for you. Thanks!

What if you have a 3 hour class, let's say from 12 till 3, how do you merge the activities in one timeframe?

I want to make a once a week activity every Monday say 1700 hrs to take account of school holidays and have a list of different students doing a presentation by one student each of these Mondays. How can I do that? Please help and advise.

Hi, thanks for the video!😁 so I’ve got a small issue. Whenever I try entering an activity using the drop down menu it auto fills, how do I get the option to choose an activity instead of it auto filling? I’m following this using Excel 2013 if that helps. Thanks once again for the great video❤️

Hi, Wanda. Can you double-check your list settings in Data Validation? Make sure that "In-cell dropdown" is selected? Otherwise, it may be autofilling if other items in the same column start with the same letter(s). Once you've selected a few items with different labels, that should stop. Let me know if you still have troubles with this. Thanks!

Hiiiii... Thank you for the Tutorial. I still have trouble when I get into the validation. After the validation staff is done what I got on the schedule list is only *Activities. So, what should I do?

I think you forgot to put the '=' sign in the source section for data validation. Instead of "Activities", it should be "=Activities". When you highlight all the necessary blocks and press data validation, make sure you choose "Allow: list" and "Source: =Activities" in the validation criteria. Goodluck!

"A named range you specified cannot be found" is the error message I get when I'm in data validation and I write "= activities" in the source box. How do I fix this?

Is there a way to make an activity reoccurring every week?
@YAcostaSolutions
@YAcostaSolutions 4 жыл бұрын
Hi. You could consider locking the cells that contain the recurring meeting, but then when you delete the meetings to begin a new week, you'd have to make sure to not select the locked cells when you delete the others - otherwise Excel gets fussy. I have a tutorial on protecting cells that might help: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndGkh7OpvrHMcqc.html But I wonder if it's easier to not delete it for future weeks? You could format it to be a specific color so that it stands out for you. Or use all caps and bold it. Just so it's easier to spot when you're clearing out the area to create a new week. Let me know if neither of these solutions work for you and we can brainstorm something else. Thanks!

I cant get it to work, neither in English or Swedish, it won't add the next hour, it just moves the inputted time / day / to the next cell. Your guide is really good, but what is wrong with myExcel (365).

My list wouldn't show up. Only the title. Is it because my description was to long to fit in one column? Or did I do something wrong, I am doing an assignment for school. I need to use Excel to make a schedule for a doctor.
