I'm often asked if there is a way within Outlook to print a single calendar containing the appointments from every calendar in the profile. Although Outlook doesn't have this ability built in, you can copy all the appointments to one calendar and print or use the Calendar Printing Assistant or third-party print utilities.

Note: The calendars need to be in your profile as mailboxes, not opened as shared calendars. This will not work with shared calendars that display only Free/Busy.

Copying appointments from list view is fairly easy, if monotonous, but a macro makes quick work of it. This question on Outlook forums finally nudged me to write a macro that would do it: combine 24 meeting room calendars in to 1 single list.

The result is a set of macros pulled from macros previously published here at Slipstick. (Not a lot of writing involved!)

The macros that I tweaked to copy the appointments from the selected calendars were originally published at Select multiple calendars in Outlook and Copy Recurring Appointment Series to Appointments.

The macro deletes the calendar called Print, if it exists, then creates a new calendar folder named Print , then checks to see if one or more calendars are selected in the navigation pane, and if so, it copies the appointments to the Print calendar.

My sample copies appointments for the next 3 days, but you can add (or subtract) from Date to include any period. The data file name (as seen in the folder list) is added to each appointment as a category, so you know which calendar each appointment is from (I use category colors that match the calendar color). Recurring appointments are copied to the Print calendar as single appointments.

After running the macro, go into File, Print, click Print Options and select the Print calendar then click Print.

Note: this code was updated on July 15 2014 to create the Print calendar automatically. If the print calendar exists, it deletes it and recreates it, otherwise it creates it. It was updated on July 29 2014 to check each group for selected calendars. Updated October 27 2015 to create new items on the Print calendar instead of copying them. It's slower but avoids "copy:" added to meeting subjects and seems to work better when there are a lot of items to copy. The code is only using the subject, start and end dates from the original appointment but other fields can be added. August 25 2016: Added code to delete the Print calendar from Deleted Items (otherwise it errors if there are more than 10 Print calendars in the Deleted Items folder.)

Calendars in Exchange Public folders are categorized using "Favorites", not their actual folder name. You can include the calendar name when creating the category: calName = CalFolder.Parent.Name & "-" & CalFolder.Name

To use the macro, paste it into the VBA Editor then click in PrintCalendarsAsOne macro and click Run (F5). If you want to run it using a button on the ribbon or QAT, select the PrintCalendarsAsOne macro and add it to the ribbon or QAT.

Print Shared Calendars as One

This version of the macro works with Shared Calendars in Exchange that are open in your profile. This includes Resource calendars as well as other user's calendars. (It also works with calendars in your mailbox and in shared mailboxes open in your profile as a secondary mailbox.)

If you don't have read permission on the calendar, events will not be copied to the Print calendar.

Utilities to Print Multiple Calendars

If you prefer using a utility, the following utilities can print multiple calendars together on one page.
 

How to use macros

First: You will need macro security set to low during testing.

To check your macro security in Outlook 2010 or 2013, go to File, Options, Trust Center and open Trust Center Settings, and change the Macro Settings. In Outlook 2007 and older, it’s at Tools, Macro Security.

After you test the macro and see that it works, you can either leave macro security set to low or sign the macro.

Open the VBA Editor by pressing Alt+F11 on your keyboard.

To put the code in a module:

1. Right click on Project1 and choose Insert > Module
2. Copy and paste the macro into the new module.
