Google-calendar – How to switch default calendar in Google Calendars

google-calendar

I understand from other questions that the first Calendar listed is your default calendar.

I have 8 calendars (not all visible). I want Calendar in the fourth position to become my Default, but I don't want to lose the info in my other calendars (including the current default).

Other responses seemed to solve changing default to a new calendar. I imagine switching defaults still involves some exporting, unsubscribing and importing, but I'd appreciate the exact 'script.'

Basically, export the data, clear the calendars, import the data and rename the calendars to match the content.

  1. Export from your default calendar (Calendar A)
  2. Export from the calendar you want to swap with (Calendar B)
  3. Create a new calendar (Calendar C) and import events from your previously exported Calendar A file (and check that you've done it correctly)
  4. Clear your default calendar (calendar settings > remove (this will clear the calendar rather than delete it)
  5. Import Calendar B data to Calendar A
  6. Delete the existing calendar B
  7. Rename the default calendar to B
  8. Rename calendar C as calendar A
