INSTRUCTIONS
Download using the link below, unzip the archive. In the
Excelfolder, you’ll see files named something likeCompactCalendar.xlt. This is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet template.Double-click the file (Windows) and a new spreadsheet will be created based on the template.
Print it out, or annotate the calendar within Excel. Again, I just print them out; you could make a fancier “production calendar” too and print that instead, if you’re that type of person.
Optionally you can copy the
.xltfile into your Microsoft Excel templates folder. This gives you the ability to create new calendars using Excel’s New Document command.

Thanks for your work

Thanks Le TisseurDeToile!
I know that others have added their own versions already, so I’m going through my email to find them.
The Compact Calendar is very useful for me.
Thanks~~~Dave Seah
A while ago I made a Spanish compact calendar for 2008 based on last year’s calendar, with separate calendars for the regions Cataluña, Madrid, Valencia and Lleida. After that special versions for Colombia and Mexico have been added:
http://canasto.es/2007/10/calendario-compacto-2008/
A new Italian version, including the ISO 8660 week numbers is available here:
http://paolo.ciarrocchi.googlepages.com/calendariocompatto
together with the 2007 version which I suggested in Aug.
David, I love your site and the information I’ve learned from you. Thanks for the new version of the Compact Calendar!
One question/request: do you plan to do .pdf versions again, like you did for 2007? I don’t have Excel, and MS Works Spreadsheets doesn’t like multi-sheet Excel files.
Thanks again for your insight!
Genia: I’ve uploaded PDF printout versions for you. Enjoy!
Hi~ Dave
I have made a Taiwan(Traditional Chinese) compact calendar for 2008, but I don’t know how to put it on the website.
Can you tell me how can I do?
Dave, you’re a sweetheart. Thanks so much for the .pdf versions!
Hey Dave!
Thanks for posting the 2008 calendar!
I’ve put together a Portuguese (Portugal) version with the main / official holidays.
http://www.miguelalho.com/tools/CompactCalendar2008pt-ss1.zip
E Sheng: Just upload it to your own website, write a blog post about it, and let me know, and I’ll link to it.
OK!! David

Man, David. Just found your blog and I love it. Fantastic stuff – great design, content, you name it. You probably get a lot of comments like this, but hey you deserve it. I’ll be back to dig around more ;)
Cheers,

Hi Dave,
Thanks as always for sharing these ideas with us all. I have modified the table to show the public holidays for Thailand for 2008.
http://orient-expression.blogspot.com/2007/11/technology-applied-compact-calendar.html
Thanks! Added Portugal, Taiwan, and will now add Hungarian and Thailand!
Albert, David: thanks for the kind words! I really appreciate them! :-)
I made the Korean translation:

Thanks for your great idea!
Hi David,
I love this calendar and I’ve made a little modification to the italian version: I’ve added a column with the number of the weeks, as long as I and my customers verry often referres to these numbers.
My modded calendar is available here (http://www.strategievincenti.net/2007/12/project-management-il-calendario-compatto/)
ciao
alex
Ciao Alex,
I already did the same and David already linked my version:
Italy 2008 w/ ISO8660 Weeks by Paolo Ciarrocchi
http://paolo.ciarrocchi.googlepages.com/calendariocompatto
Are there any differences in the two “implementations”?
That said, I like your blog :-)
Ciao Paolo,
I didn’t seen your version. I’m using the compact calendar since last year and I didn’t check back to this site lately, but only today to comunicate that I modded and publish my italian version.
I didn’t know other people had the same need as I had and already made the addition of the weeks number.
No there are no substantial changes, despite the fact that I located the number of the weeks just beside the column with the dates of Monday.
have a nice day
ciao
alex
I’ve made one for Alberta Canada, but it could be easily modified for the other provinces with different days. I also made some modifications as I like having lines to write on. I setup a light gray graph which would be useful for writing and drawing things like graphs and gantt charts. I also added a couple of lines at the top for subject heading and for the date or start/end time.
Dave, feel free to post this up on your site:

Dave, really great calendar. I am trying to make one for Kuwait but require more space in the Tables to add more holidays.
Where can I edit the lookup table so I can make it larger?
Hyun-soo, Dave: Awesome, thanks! BTW, Dave, if you could make the XLS file into a ZIP archive, that would be much more download-friendly.
nibag: The HolidayTable can be expanded if you just insert rows in the middle, and not the ends. This should expand the range automatically (not guaranteed if you do it at the end). So, right-click the ROW number (all the way at the left of the spreadsheet), choose INSERT (or it might be INSERT ROW) from the menu, and that should add a row. To repeat the insert, you can type CTRL-Y a bunch of times.

Hi David and everybody. A Dutch (Nederlands) and a Frisian (Frysk) translation can be found here: http://diepfries.nl/index.php/compact-calendar-2008/
Hi David,
Great job again!
I made the Brazilian translation with the national holidays and national holidays + São Paulo holidays.

Hi,
I’ve made a Norwegian version of the calendar available here:
http://andedam.org/2007/12/04/kompaktkalender/
Thanks for this Dave.
I’ve uploaded a Canadian-British Columbia calendar to the Wiki.
Alberta Dave: Something happened to your’s as the last tab (Tables) is missing.
Hello, Dave!
Well, looks like Nicholas has made a brazilian version already. Anyway, my version is here:
http://carladobrasil.wikispaces.com/space/showimage/CalendarioCompacto2008.zip
Thanks for sharing your idea!
I’ve made a South African version but my wordpress.com blog doesn’t allow ZIP uploads. I’ve tried to register on your wiki so I can upload it there but after five or six attempts at entering a string that matches the CAPTCHA, I gave up. Is there some other way I can get it to you?
Added all!
Steve Crane: I’m sorry that the CAPTCHA isn’t working right…maybe I should disable it. I’ve turned it off for now…if anyone else has had trouble with it, please let me know.
Now it says I’m not authorised to perform that action when I try to register. I got past the CAPTCHA when I posted my last comment by typing it all in upper case even though it was displayed in lower case, but that didn’t work with the one on the registration page. I hope I get past to post this comment.
Steve: I think it requires numbers too at the end, but otherwise I’m not sure what the problem is. When I tested it I didn’t have any problems (Firefox). The authorization error occurs when Expression Engine thinks you are a bot, caused by repeated failed captcha attempts.
Email me directly with what you want your username to be, and I will register you manually.
Hi Dave,
Thanks for the great calendar! Question for you: I wanted to change the font color of the conditional formatting of the holidays but after changing the font color it did not actually update the calendar. What’s the trick to refreshing the calendar (so to speak) so the conditional formatting will take place again?
Thanks!
Christi
David,
This is not a translation, but rather a port to Apple’s Numbers spreadsheet program. I needed to use the functionality and thought it would be a good thing to share. The functions were not compatible, so I had to do a little manual work, but visually it is the same.
It can be found here:
http://www.numberstemplates.com/2007/12/04/template-david-seahs-compact-calendar-for-numbers/
I have included links back to your site, but please let me know if you prefer I take it down.
Thanks for the great tools.

Hi David,
Thanks for the calendar, its amazingly very easy…
I just made a India version for it, would like to share that on your website. Please let me know where can i email that.
Thanks & Regards
Shikhar
Compact calender is cool simple calendar.
I made Korean version compact calendar.
It’s little bit different.
http://opencache.tistory.com/117
Christi: You need to set the formatting in the Conditional Formatting dialog box, not regular text formatting. Search help for “conditional formatting” for your version of Excel, and you should be able to figure it out from there. Good luck!
Michael: Awesome! I added the link.
Shikhar: If you don’t have hosting, register yourself on the public wiki, zip your file up, and then upload it and create a page for it. It’s all DIY here :-)
Malbong: Thanks! Added!
Hi David. Thanks for your calendar. It’s very handy! You may find Indonesia version at http://priatna.or.id/2007/12/05/kalender-2008/

I just made a India version for it, would like to share that on your website. Please let me know where can i email that.
I’ve just made slovak version (Slovakia). It’s available on my blog – http://zapisnik.mipo.us/kompaktny-kalendar-2008-slovenska-verzia.html
G’day, the “links” under “Download the Calendar Template” on the web page,http://davidseah.com/blog/comments/compact-calendar/
are NOT links. Thanks for all the info, but can you get the links fixed so they work, please? Take care, Ron
Ron: I am not following what your problem is. There are dozens and dozens of links on this page. Which ones specifically are not working? Many of them point to blog posts off-site. Some of them point to PDF files or ZIP files.
