Integration of Microsoft Excel and Google Calendar

We can integrate Microsoft Excel and Google Calendar by using the Microsoft Outlook application to create an event in our Google Calendar. When we create an event in MS Outlook, it automatically creates a new event on Google Calendar as well. On the other hand, when you create an event in Google Calendar, it will also create a new event in MS Outlook automatically. This feature means that we can use MS Outlook to add appointments to our Google Calendar instead of using the Google Calendar web interface or mobile app. Let’s see how we can integrate MS Outlook with Google Calendar. First, open MS Outlook on your computer or mobile device. Then click File > New > Appointment to display the “Create Appointment” dialog box shown below:

Enter the details of your appointment in the “Create Appointment” dialog box. If you want to schedule an appointment for next week, enter the date in the “Start time” field and click “Tomorrow” button to set the start time of the appointment. Next, enter the location of the appointment in the “Location” field and click OK button to schedule this appointment in MS Outlook. Once you have created an appointment in MS Outlook, it will automatically appear on your Google Calendar as seen below:

There are many benefits of integrating Microsoft Excel and Google Calendar to manage your schedule.
