A date and time picker (DTP) control provides a simple and intuitive interface through which to exchange date and time information with a user. For example, with a DTP control you can ask the user to enter a date and then easily retrieve the selection.

The client area of a date and time picker (DTP) control displays date or time information, or both, and acts as the interface through which users modify the information. The date can be selected from a calendar, or by using an up-down control; the time can be changed by typing in fields that are defined by the control's Format Strings. Optionally, the control displays a check box. When it is checked, the value in the control can be retrieved; otherwise, the control is considered to be uninitialized.
The following illustration shows a window that contains three date-picker controls. The first date-picker control was created with the DTS_SHOWNONE style, the second with the DTS_UPDOWN style, and the third with no special styles. In the third control, the user has clicked the down arrow to display the calendar.
The first control has been created with the DTS_TIMEFORMAT style and shows the time in the default time, which consists of four fields. The user can type a valid value in any of these fields, or select the field and change the value by using the up-down control or arrow keys.
The second control shows a custom format set by using DateTime_SetFormat. As with the first control, the user can change the time fields by typing or by using arrow keys. The day of the week can be changed by selecting a date from the calendar that opens when the user clicks on the down arrow.
DTP controls that do not use the DTS_UPDOWN style display an arrow button. If the user clicks this button, a month calendar control drops down. The user can select a specific date by clicking an area of the calendar.
Date and time picker (DTP) controls have several Date and Time Picker Control Styles that determine a control's appearance and behavior. Specify the style when creating the control with the dwStyle parameter of CreateWindowEx. To retrieve or change the window style after you have created the control, use GetWindowLong and SetWindowLong.
A date and time picker (DTP) control sends notification codes when it receives user input or processes and reacts to callback fields. The parent of the control receives these notification codes in the form of WM_NOTIFY messages.
The tutorial shows how to insert a drop-down calendar in Excel (date picker) and link it to a specific cell. You will also learn a quick way to create a printable calendar based on an Excel calendar template.
If you cannot find the Date and Time Picker Control in the list, please follow these instructions to register it.Finally, click on a cell where you want to insert the calendar control.That's it! A drop down calendar control is inserted in your Excel sheet:As soon as the datepicker control is inserted, the EMBED formula appears in the formula bar. It informs Excel what type of control is embedded in the sheet, and in no case you should change or delete it, because this would result in the "Reference is not valid" error.
Inserting any ActiveX control (including DTPiker) automatically turns the Design Mode on allowing you to modify the appearance and properties of the newly added control. The most obvious changes that you will want to make most of the time is to resize your calendar control and link it to a specific cell.
To activate your Excel drop down calendar, go to the Design tab > Controls group, and turn off the Design Mode:And now, you can click on the dropdown arrow to display the calendar and select the desired date:Note. If the Microsoft Date Piker control is not available in the More Controls list, it's most likely because of the following reasons:
To resize the datepicker control, turn the Design Mode on, and drag a corner of the control:Alternatively, with the Design Mode on, select your calendar control, and click Properties:In the Properties window, you can set the desired height, width as well as change the font theme and size:To move the datepicker control, hover your mouse over it and as soon as the cursor changes to a four-pointed arrow, drag the control where you want it.4. Link the calendar control to a cellNow that you have successfully added a drop down calendar in Excel, you may also want to link it to a specific cell. It is absolutely necessary if you intend to use the selected dates in formulas.
Let's say, you've written a formula to count the number of orders between the specified dates. To prevent your users from inputting incorrect dates like 2/30/2016, you inserted the dropdown calendars in 2 cells (A2 and B2 in this example). However, your obviously correct COUNTIFS formula returns zero, although you can clearly see a few orders within the specified time period!The reason is that Excel cannot recognize the value of a date picker control until you associate it with a certain cell. To fix this, link your date picker controls to some cells in this way:
And now, as soon as you select a date in the dropdown calendar, that date immediately appears in a linked cell. As shown in the screenshot below, Excel has no problem with understanding such dates, and our formula referencing the linked cells (A3 and B3) works perfectly:If you don't want to clutter your worksheet with "extra dates", you can link your date picker controls to the cells where they reside (A2 and B2 in this example). In this case, the underling dates won't be visible to the users, but you and Excel will know they are there and your formula will work faultlessly again:How to register the Calendar control on your machineIn earlier versions of Excel, the Date and Time Picker Control (mscomct2.ocx in Excel 2010 and 2013 and mscal.ocx in Excel 2007) was usually included with the default installation. The users of Excel 2016 and higher will have to download and register this control manually. Here's how:
The users of the Ultimate Suite can find their Excel drop-down calendar on the Ablebits tab in the Date & Time group. The Date Picker is turned off by default, to turn it on, just click this button:Once the Date Picker is activated, a small calendar button appears on the sheet when you type or select a date in a cell. If necessary, you can change date format as usual and the calendar will supply dates in your custom format - a nice feature that Microsoft's Date and Time Picker control lacks. Additionally, the calendar shows how far away the selected date is from today's date. Also, it allows you to quickly get to today's date or switch between one-month and two-month views:Moreover, you can also calculate dates right in the calendar! For this, select the target date in your worksheet or in the calendar, and click the Date Calculator button in the upper right corner. Then, click the desired unit on the upper pane and type how many years, months, weeks or days (or any combination of these units) you want to add to or subtract from the target date. After that, press the Enter key to insert the result into the currently selected cell or press F6 to display the calculated date in the calendar (or click one of the buttons shown in the image below).
In all other respects, it's a handy little tool that displays a calendar whenever needed - for cells containing date values, date formats or certain labels.Pop-up calendars for Excel OnlineIf you often manage time tables, schedules and to-do lists in Excel Online, you may find the following Calendar add-ins helpful.
Hello, I ended up downloading the samradapps.com Excel Date Picker into my 64-bit Excel. I see it in the ribbon as well as when I right click, but when I click on the date picker after right clicking, nothing happens. & from the ribbon, I can only add todays date, though the calendar doesn't even pop up. Please let me know what I can do!
Hi. I've been trying to make several cells have date pickers. however, I can only manage one. I tried copy and pasting one date picker, adjusting the linked cell - yet to no avail.
Can help me out?
"The date picker is working fine, but when i fix it in a cell after doing all the essential formatting, save it and try reopening the same file the date picker is at the top left corner. I face this issue each and every time I re-open the file. Request you to kindly help me in solving this issue.."
The date picker used to be included in previous versions and I am thinking it may have been 2007 when they took it out. I remember having to rework all my programs that used it. It was a complete pain. It is horrible that they would remove such a basic tool.
Hello
Great post.
I see that I have 64-bit Office installed, so I`M not seeing these controls.
However, why is this not available for 64-bit excel? Does that make any logical sense?
Also, if I install 32-bit excel, and get access to the data picker.
Michael I love your solution, although what do you recommend for a version of this that uses am and pm? Is there an efficent way to have a time picker that goes to 12 and then starts over, or one with an am/pm option?
Hello I am trying to set Timer and I am getting problem with the + sign when trying update Card and error is saying:Expected Record Value. hour and minute drop downs and date picker are good without any errors. I have attached screen shot of the error and function.
Thanks Michael. So based on your solution, I have From and To as two date picker controls added in powerapps and also the Hours and mins drop-downs as well:. Now how do i calculate a decimal difference between the two?
You can customize the date picker to suit your needs by double-clicking the control on the form template and then changing its properties. For example, you can specify a default date or change the way that the date is displayed on the form.
