Calendar

Use the Calendar application included with your Mac.

It can display a full year's calendar, with today highlighted, as shown below (screen shot here includes only the first row of months), or a single month, a week, or a single day, by clicking the buttons with those labels. In each setting, the < and > arrows will mve to the "next page" relative to the current display setting, and Today will bring the view back to the current date, displayed in the current setting.

A double click on any date (in the view setting shown above) opens a one month calendar showing that date.

A double click on the date in the month opens a form on which you can enter an event on that date, and set Calendar to post a reminder to you on or before that date.

If you are looking for a calendar you can write on after printing it, or enter text into while it is on the computer, you could use the template supplied in Numbers' Template Choose.

This opens as a two sheet spreadsheet document with the first sheet set to the month and year that the computer model was introduced and the second is a "Blank" calendar form that may be filled manually with a month name, year, and set of dates, but does not contain the 'man behind the curtain' formulas that get the two visible data (Month and Year) from the small table at upper left and fill the rest in automatically.)

To create a one year set of monthly calendars, start by selecting and deleting the "Blank" Sheet. (This deletes that sheet from the current document, but NOT from the template, which you may want to use again next year.)

On the remaining Sheet:

Click on the Month name to select that cell, then use the pop-up menu control on the right of that cell to choose January.

With the month name changed, click on the cell below it, containing the Year. Click the upper arrow on the Stepper control to change the year to 2022

A year's calendar will be spread over a dozen letter size/ screen size pages.

Select the "Monthly" tab, click the V toward the right end of the tab, anc Choose Duplicate.

Repeat eleven times to create a total of 12 sheets.

Double click on each of the Monthly tabs in turn and change its name to the name of the month to be set for that sheet's calendar.

Then select each of the tabs in turn and use the pop-up menu control on the Month name cell to change the month name to match the name on the selected tab.

Save your calendar document with a name that will idenify it by year.

You may also want, before entering anything else into the document, to save this document as a Template with the name Calendar (full year).

In its current state, creating a new calendar for a different year would require opening a new document from the template, then updating the year on each Sheet.

You can reduce that to resetting the date in only the January table by entering this formula in the 'year cell in the tables on each of the other sheets:

January::Month and Year::A2

To paste the formula into those cells, copy it from here, then:

Click on the Year cell on the February sheet's Month and Year table.

In the Format Inspector (right sidebar), choose Cell, then click Data format, scroll to the top of the pop-up menu that opens, and choose Number.

With the Stepper now removed from the cell, press = to open the Formula Editor, then press command-V to paste the copied formula into the editor, and click the green checkmark button to confirm the formula and close the editor.

Repeat with the same cell on each of the month sheets for the remaining months after February.

Save the document as a Template.

When a new calendar document is created using that template, the only adjustment needed will be to change the year on the January Month and Year table using its stepper.

Note that the built-in 'Academic Calendar' template at File > New in your menu already includes a calendar for an entire year. You can change the starting month and year to whatever you want.
