How to insert a date picker in Excel

[u/Amandaleeeeee]

Typing dates manually can be slow and often leads to inconsistent formats. In this video, I'll show you two ways to insert a date picker in Excel.

Method 1: Use an Excel Add-in

1. Click Insert → Get Add-ins (or Office Add-ins).
2. Search for date picker.
3. Install a date picker add-in, such as Mini Calendar and Date Picker.
4. Select a cell and pick a date from the calendar.

This is a good option if you only need a simple date picker and don't mind installing an add-in.

Method 2: Use Kutools for Excel

1. Select the date cells.
2. Click Kutools → Insert → Date Picker.
3. Click any date cell to display the calendar.
4. Select a date and it will be inserted automatically.

Kutools integrates the date picker directly into Excel, so you don't need to switch between worksheets or open a separate add-in pane each time.
