Here’s a simple example of how you can set up a weekly schedule grid in Excel. I'll describe how it looks and how to set it up.
You can recreate this layout in your own Excel workbook by following the instructions below.
Open Excel and Create a New Workbook:
Launch Excel.
Go to File
> New
> Blank Workbook
.
Enter Headers:
In cell B1
, type Monday
.
In cell C1
, type Tuesday
.
Continue this pattern across the top row to H1
for Sunday
.
Enter Time Slots:
In cell A2
, type 8:00 AM
.
In cell A3
, type 9:00 AM
.
Continue this down column A
to cover the time slots you need (e.g., up to 6:00 PM
).
Adjust Column Width and Row Height:
Column Width: Select columns B
through H
. Right-click and choose Column Width
. Enter 15
or adjust as needed.
Row Height: Select rows 2
through 12
. Right-click and choose Row Height
. Enter 25
or adjust as needed.
Apply Borders:
Select the range A1:H12
.
Go to the Home
tab.
Click on the Borders
icon in the Font
group.
Choose All Borders
to create a grid.
Format and Fill:
You can now enter your tasks or events into the cells. Use different colors or fonts to highlight specific activities.
Optionally, use Conditional Formatting
to highlight cells based on certain criteria (e.g., deadlines).
