Trying to figure out how to get a horizontal daily calendar to fill with information from an open ended table. Basically, I want each employee to simply enter data into the table at the bottom, and the calender will built itself from colum C to the right for 2 years worth of dates.

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Also to note, the table can't need to be in any particular order, I need the employees to be able to just add things to it on the next line down at any time with no sorting etc.

Correction to the original post / goal.

Trying to figure out how to get a horizontal daily calendar to fill with information from an open ended table. Basically, I want each employee to simply enter data into the table at the bottom, and the calendar will built itself from column C to the right for 2 years worth of dates. I also need it to work with the table at the bottom being in any order - I need the employees to be able to enter a new line at any time at the bottom without regard for it the dates or names or anything else is in a particular order. I specifically want the activity name to only show in the start and end dates boxes, but I want the activity type to fill every dates between the start and end dates, inclusive of the start and end dates. (So I can conditionally format with colors later on) Would be ideal if it automatically append the words "Start" and "End" to calendar entries as shown based on the start/end dates, but I could live without that.
