Here’s a quick How-To on merging two Google Calendars<\/a> together, since Googling with the obvious phrases did not get me very useful results.<\/p>\n

The Problem: Merge Two (or more) Google Calendars Into One<\/h3>\n

Let’s suppose that you, like me, have more than one calendar in your Google Calendar, and decide at some point that you want to condense those into one. I was struggling to find a single click solution for this, and then just to find any<\/em> solution, for quite a while. Then I stumbled on the “Import” feature, and realized that it actually solves all my problems. Here’s how it works.<\/p>\n

The Solution: Import<\/em> one Calendar into the other<\/h3>\n

Once you see how to do it, it’s a quick task to merge two calendars together. In fact, you can even use this to merge a Google calendar from one account into another.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Log in to your Google Calendar account, and click on the drop-down menu next to your Source<\/strong> calendar. Pick “Calendar Settings” from the list:
    \n    \"Calendar<\/a>\n<\/li>\n
  2. Now, scroll down to the bottom and find the Private ICAL address link. Right click on this link and save the file to your Desktop (or other handy temporary location):
    \n    \"Private<\/a>\n<\/li>\n
  3. Next, return to your calendar and click on the “Add” dropdown menu at the top of your calendar list, then click Import Calendar:
    \n    \"Import<\/a>\n<\/li>\n
  4. Select the file you just saved from your Source<\/strong> calendar, and choose the Destination<\/strong> calendar you want to import into:
    \n    \"Import<\/a>
    \nThen click Import, and you will soon be greeted with the cheery success message:
    \n    \"Successful<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. And that’s it! Here’s a before-and-after of me combining two calendars to show that it works. (Take a look at Tues, February 12, for example.):
