Add Calendar Multiple Times To Excel
I need to add today's date drop down in about 100 cells. Each cell needs to be separate from all the others (no linking the same date).
I have added the Microsoft Date and Time Picker via Developer Options once and linked it to a cell, but can't cut and paste it to other cells... So, that means I have to manually add each calendar and manually edit the cell linkage? That would take a very long time.
Is there a way to add multiple calendars and have Excel 'auto-adjust' the calendar to each cell?
Or maybe I need to ask it this way:
How can I quickly add a date selection drop down to over 100 cells at one time?

Please see my Magical floating ActiveX control article. It will describe exactly how to do what you want.
Tsake a look at my examples here. They do not use ActiveX controls so will work on any users computer without the problems associated with ActiveX controls that may not be present on all machines.
Here's a working example. It is currently set up to show the date picker in cells A1, B5 and C2 via this line
28926462.xlsm
Set rngDP = Union(Range("A1"), Range("B5"), Range("C2"))
28926462.xlsm

I have your xlsm file open and am reading your article. Where do I enter/copy the code to have it be in the other empty cells so the calendar is there?

In my article I mention that you need to manually add one control to the sheet. So if you haven't already done so, add a datepicker to the sheet where you want to use it.
After manually adding a date picker to the sheet, I get this error and the word Union is highlighted:
Union is meant join together two or more sub-ranges and you only indicated one range. If in fact that is the only range you want to use then replace your Worksheet_SelectionChange code with this version.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim str As String
Dim ws As Worksheet
'Dim rngDP As Range
Set ws = ActiveSheet
On Error Resume Next
grngCurrent.Value = DTPicker1.Value
' Set the range where you want the date picker to appear
'Set rngDP = Union(Range("A1"), Range("B5"), Range("C2"))
'If Intersect(ActiveCell, Range(rngDP.Address)) Is Nothing Then
If Intersect(ActiveCell, Range("D13:D34")) Is Nothing Then
DTPicker1.Visible = False
Exit Sub
End If
Set grngCurrent = ActiveCell
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
If Application.CutCopyMode Then
'allows copying and pasting on the worksheet
GoTo errHandler
End If
With DTPicker1
.Font.Size = 8
.Visible = True
.Left = Target.Left + 1
.Top = Target.Top + 1
If Target.Width >= 65 Then
.Width = Target.Width - 1
Else
.Width = 65
End If
.Height = Target.Height - 1
.Text = Target.Value
.Activate
End With
errHandler:
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
OK, I fixed it. I changed the code to this:
Set rngDP = Range("D13:D34")
That did the trick. Every cell now has a calendar in it!
Now, I'll expand that range to the entire column and see how it goes.
Thanks for the help.

While that apparently worked for you, please see the code in my last post for a different way to do it that doesn't need rngDP. (See line 13)
I'll give you an A since you worked back and forth with me (which I greatly appreciate), but you might consider improving your article. As I am not a VB or Excel guru, I was completely lost when reading your instructions. If you can receive this, I recommend screenshots in numbered order with brief instructions for each step. Yes, it will take some more work, but you will get less follow-up questions. Food for thought. Thanks again for your help!
You're welcome and I'm glad I was able to help and I will consider your advice.
