Microsoft Excel is a powerful spreadsheet program that effectively sorts, manages and filters a wide variety of information. Because of Excel's ease of use and broad range of tools, many people use it as a productivity tool by tracking events, projects and dates. If you want to view your Excel data in an actual calendar format, Microsoft makes it easy to convert your data and import it into Outlook, which will automatically format it into an easy-to-read calendar.
Step 1
Open the file containing your data in Microsoft Excel. Make sure that your file has a clear header row at the top of the spreadsheet. The header row contains the names of each field in your spreadsheet. These header fields are needed in order to create a calendar with the correct information.
