 To get started with this template, head over to the Meetings Raw Data Sheet. It's here where we fill in the pertinent details of our company gatherings. To start, enter the date of the event or the meeting. The date column is formatted to automatically show the day of the week, month, and year. Next enter your the team or participants involved or needed for the meeting or relevant individuals if you'll be inputting an appointments in the office. Input next the start time of the meeting schedule, then the meeting topics, any idea, or agenda items and location that you and your team discussed in your weekly meetings, and select a meeting priority level using the provided data validation drop-down list.

Once you're done fixing your scheduling, we can then proceed to the Meetings Calendar Sheet. Here we can see our calendar that spans the entire year. If you click on the Refresh Meetings Data macro button on the top left of the sheet, it will update your calendar instantly! Using the calendar, you can easily get a bird's-eye view on your weekly schedule and see your free times, appointments, and conferences all on one page. The weeks span from Monday to Sunday and if you'll notice, the actual calendar dates in the sheet contain formulas and conditional formatting and it's important to note to not input anything in any of the cells in the sheet unless you're absolutely sure that you want to manually write in your events or any notes or suggestions you might want to place in there. Just remember that changing anything in the cells will result in a broken reference.

You also get a wide array of slicers that you can use to filter by team, time, and priority. Do note that manually entered notes aren't included in the slicers. Make sure as well that you set the rest days of the week for your company using the two white cells on the top right of the sheet. Because of the conditional formatting in place in the cells, the days in the table that contains events or appointments will get highlighted yellow. You'll also be able to see the meeting start time hour, the team or personnel required, and the agenda or topic in the calendar cells. Manage, track, and maintain your business!
