Hey there! It’s your Holiday Little Assistant coming at you with another practical guide. I’ve noticed quite a few folks scratching their heads about how to add US holidays to their SharePoint calendars. Don’t worry – I’ve got your back! Whether you’re setting up a team calendar or just want to keep track of those precious days off, I’ll walk you through the whole process step by step.<\/p>\n
First things first – let’s talk about the easiest method. SharePoint actually has a built-in feature for this (though it’s kinda hidden). Here’s what you do:<\/p>\n
1. Open your SharePoint site and head to your calendar
\n2. Click on “Calendar” in the top ribbon, then select “Calendar Settings”
\n3. Look for the “Holidays” option – this might be under “Regional Settings” depending on your version
\n4. Choose “United States” from the country dropdown
\n5. Boom! All federal holidays will automatically populate your calendar<\/p>\n
Now, I know what you’re thinking – “But Assistant, what if I need to add state-specific holidays too?” Great question! That’s where things get a bit more hands-on.<\/p>\n
For those special local holidays or company-specific days off, you’ll need to manually add them. Here’s my pro tip:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Create a separate “US Holidays” calendar first (trust me, it keeps things organized)
\n\u2022 Use the “New Event” button to add each holiday individually
\n\u2022 Set them as “All Day” events and make them recurring yearly
\n\u2022 Consider color-coding them so they stand out from regular events<\/p>\n
Bonus tip: If you’re adding multiple holidays, you might want to use the quick entry view or even import them from an Excel spreadsheet to save time.<\/p>\n
Ah, the million-dollar question! Many users hit this snag. Usually it’s because:<\/p>\n
– You’re using an older version of SharePoint (2010 or 2013 might be different)
\n– Your admin has disabled this feature for your site
\n– You don’t have the right permissions to modify calendar settings<\/p>\n
If you’re stuck here, try reaching out to your SharePoint administrator. They might need to enable the holiday feature at the site collection level.<\/p>\n
If the built-in method isn’t working for you, don’t panic! Here are some workarounds I’ve found super helpful:<\/p>\n
1. Use Outlook first:<\/b> Add holidays to your Outlook calendar, then sync it with SharePoint
\n2. Import a holiday list:<\/b> Find a pre-made US holiday ICS file online and import it
\n3. Power Automate it:<\/b> Create a flow that automatically adds holidays each year (perfect for tech-savvy users)
\n4. Apps von Drittanbietern:<\/b> There are some great add-ons specifically for holiday calendars<\/p>\n
Remember, not all these methods work for every SharePoint version, so you might need to experiment a bit.<\/p>\n
After helping hundreds of users with this, here are my golden rules for holiday calendar success:<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u00dcberpr\u00fcfen Sie die Daten noch einmal:<\/b> Some holidays like Thanksgiving change dates yearly
\n\u2022 Add descriptions:<\/b> Note which holidays are observed vs. actual dates
\n\u2022 Share wisely:<\/b> Decide if everyone needs edit permissions (probably not)
\n\u2022 J\u00e4hrliche \u00dcberpr\u00fcfung:<\/b> New holidays get added occasionally (looking at you, Juneteenth)<\/p>\n
