Hi Everyone,

this is just a general question at this moment to find out how possible it is for excel to add information into a google calendar?

I have a tool hire company, and what I'd like to do is when I hire out an item I have a hire date and a hire end date, I'd like for a macro that takes these dates and shows the name of the item hired an appointment in google calendar?

would this be possible?
if so can anyone guide me to help on how to do it?

any ideas on how I could achieve this?

thanks very much

Tony

Wildcard in VLOOKUP
Use =VLOOKUP("Apple*" to find apple, Apple, or applesauce
Not without a lot a work and understanding some pretty complex VBA. The problem is the authentication that google uses, OAuth2 isn't trivial in VBA so you need to jump through some hoops to make it work.

If you have outlook installed, it's much easier

Hi Kyle,
thanks very much for that I thought it might be the case, I ws hoping to find a bit of software out there or an app that would do it but nothing so far,
I've done it to outlook before and it was very straightforward (with everyone on heres help of course! :-) ) but this is fighting against 5 years of using google calendar and its hard to get everyone to move over to outlook,

I've found a ad hok way of doing it involving exporting the data to google sheets and then importing it from there but I'm not very good with google sheets code and they don't have a forum like this one to help me so I expect i'll get stuck and won't be able to do this either. well if anyone know of software or a way to do this easily please let me know, otherwise I think i'll give up trying now.

thanks

Tony
