Hi all,

I am trying to create a production schedule with a calendar view to make it easy for other departments to see available slots for work to be booked in.

I have found LOADS of guides to create a dynamic calendar, but none of these cover looking up events with a date range and showing these within the calendar.

My data table looks like the below:

Job NameStart DateEnd DateStatus
JOB 1
11/01/2024​
17/01/2024​
In Progress
JOB 2
13/01/2024​
20/01/2024​
Not Started
JOB 3
13/01/2024​
15/01/2024​
Not Started
JOB 4
03/01/2024​
09/01/2024​
Complete
JOB 5
03/01/2024​
01/02/2024​
In Progress

I would like to create a dynamic calendar which is able to show these scheduled jobs and the date range that they sit within.

Does anybody have any experience with this and can point me towards a guide to get this going? I dont want to follow a dynamic calendar guide which then removes any option for looking up the jobs and date ranges!

We select cell G5 and then create the following named range:

TaskInProgress:

Excel Formula:
=(Sheet1!G$3>=Sheet1!$C5)*(Sheet1!G$3<=Sheet1!$D5)

Assuming that your sheet's name is "Sheet1".

Then we create a Conditional formatting rule like this:

If you want to add more jobs just add them anywhere bellow the existing ones. If you want to extend the dates to the right just select the last 5 columns and drag to the right.
