You can rotate the text in each cell by 90°, then use rows as columns and
columns as rows. Just don't forget to also rotate your screen by 90°, and
you also have to remember that your columns now will be numbers counting
backwards (1 jan at A365 or something like that) instead of letters…

I wonder what you will do with 29 feb. Include it every year, just not
filling it in, or only include it every fourth year?

Yes, I know, not a very good tip, but at least I tried…

Thanks for the reply

The reason i want more than 365 columns is so that i can layout the rotas
for all 20 people  with one person per row.This makes it easier to see
other
peoples holiday booking and how they intereact with each other .

Having seperate pages increases the complexity of viewing the whole
"picture"

With so many rows and so few cols is it not possible to swap some rows for
cols ?

Again

Thanks for the reply
