About Rollover Sidebar Calendar #back to top

Here is a Rollover Sidebar Calendar for Excel that can be used to pick a Date and Capture the Date by a Defined Name or by VBA. You can advance the Month using a Drop-down Combo Box or back & forth using tiny arrows. You can set the Calendar to the current Date by pressing the 'Today' Button. As you roll across the Calendar the Cells are highlighted Red and the Selected Day is highlighted Black

  • * A Month Selection Drop-down Combo used to Select a Month from 1 Year backwards or 1 Year Forwards

Getting Started #back to top

The download File

Open the 'Rollover Sidebar Calendar.xlsm' File. Test that you can Expand and Collapse the Calendar. Check that the Dates are highlighted when you Rollover the Calendar

Calendar Settings #back to top

Configuring the Calendar is straightforward. Here are the available options:


Calendar Month Format				mmmm yyyy
- change this to how you want to see the Month displayed ie. 'October 2017'

Calendar Start Day					Monday
- change this to either 'Monday' or 'Sunday'

Fade Calendar on Refresh			TRUE
- change this to TRUE to fade the Calendar or FALSE to ignore the Setting

Set Calendar to Today on Opening	TRUE
- change this to TRUE to set the Date as Today when opening or FALSE to ignore the Setting

Capture a Click on a Date using VBA	FALSE
- change this to TRUE to Capture a Date using VBA or FALSE to ignore the Setting
                            

Capturing the Date by the Defined Name #back to top

You can Capture the current Selected Calendar Date using the CalendarDay Defined Name like this:


In any Cell (not in-line with the Calendar Rows) add the following:
=CalendarDay

You can Format the Cell to display the Date exactly how you want
A Custom Format of dddd, dd mmmm yyyy will display the Date like this:
Wednesday, 11 October 2017
                            

Capturing the Date using VBA #back to top

You can Capture the current Selected Calendar Date using VBA. Press ALT+F11 to enter the VBA Editor

Double-click on the Sheet2, System Worksheet Code Module - here you will find the Worksheet_Change Event Handler. I have added a simple MsgBox to display the Date. You can Call your VBA routine from here - I have added a Subroutine called 'Test' to another Code Module and Call it from the Subroutine below:


' // capture a Date on the Calendar if the Option is selected on the "System" Worksheet
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

    If [CaptureClickOnDate] And Not Intersect(Target, [CalendarDay]) Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox [CalendarDay]

        ' // Call a VBA Subroutine from here
        Call Test
    End If

End Sub
                            

And in another Code Module here is my 'Test' Subroutine where I set Cell "L11" to the Selected Date - obviously, you may want to do something other than just this:


Option Explicit

Sub Test()

 Range("L11").Value2 = [CalendarDay]

End Sub
                            

Other Settings #back to top

Other settings should not be edited ie. Calendar Date, Calendar Year, Calendar Month, Calendar Day as these are used internally by the VBA Code
