A calendar template in WPS Spreadsheet helps you streamline planning, monitor commitments, and maintain a clear overview of your daily and monthly obligations.
No matter if you prefer a weekly planner, a monthly grid, or an annual overview, WPS Spreadsheet provides all the features needed to create a tailored calendar without complex formulas or coding.
The first step is to open WPS Spreadsheet and initialize a new, blank document to serve as your calendar canvas.
Many users find a seven-column monthly calendar—aligned with Sunday through Saturday and one row per week—to be the most intuitive and practical.
Begin your calendar by entering the weekday names across the top row.
Enter "Sunday" in A1, "Monday" in B1, and proceed sequentially until "Saturday" appears in G1.
Use the merge and center feature to create a header row for the month and year.
Select cells A1 to G1, right-click, choose Format Cells, then go to the Alignment tab and select Center across selection.
In the combined header cell, type the full month and year you’re designing, like "March 2024" or "October 2023."
Before entering dates, confirm the exact weekday of the first day of the month.
If the month begins on a Sunday, start typing the date "1" in cell A2.
If the 1st is not a Sunday, skip over the preceding columns—e.g., start on B2 if it’s a Monday, C2 if Tuesday, and so on.
Begin typing "1" in the correct cell, then use the fill handle to drag across the row to fill in the next six days.
Once you’ve filled one row of seven days, move to the next row and continue the sequence.
To guarantee correct progression, highlight the initial date, right-click, go to Fill, then select Series to auto-generate the rest.
In the Series options, select Columns under Series in, Date under Type, and Day under Date unit, then press OK to fill the entire range.
To enhance visual clarity, set matching column widths and row heights to create uniform square cells.
To standardize the grid, select all date cells, open the Row Height and Column Width menus via right-click, and assign identical values—such as 30—for symmetry.
Use cell borders to visually distinguish each date square and improve readability.
Select the entire date range, go to the Border tool on the toolbar, and choose All Borders.
Emphasize the day headers by using bold font and a contrasting fill color wps下载 to distinguish them from the date cells.
Highlight the entire first data row (containing the day names), then click Bold and choose a light background color from the Fill Color palette.
Enhance the month-year title by making it bold and increasing the font size to 14 or 16 points.
For any key dates—like holidays or appointments—click the corresponding cell and input the event description.
Create a visual system: use red for deadlines, blue for appointments, and green for personal or family days.
To ensure long-term usability, export your completed calendar as a reusable WPS Spreadsheet template.
Navigate to File >Save As, select "Template" from the "Save as type" menu, and name your file "Monthly Calendar Template" or similar.
With this template saved, future updates require only changing the month
Build separate tabs for each month and link them to a central dashboard or index sheet for easy switching.

Create a printable version by exporting to PDF, or enable WPS Cloud sync to keep your calendar accessible on all your devices.
Make it a habit to update events as they arise and perform a weekly audit to ensure nothing slips through the cracks.
