The Excel VBA code below will create a calendar on a new Worksheet. The current day will always be highlighted dynamically each day. The year of the calendar will always be the current year. The dates used are true excel dates and can be used in any date calculations.
You may have to adjust some of the formatting elements to fit your screen size and resolution.
