Calendar

Date-based data, the way people think about time

View records as events on a month, week or day grid. Multi-day events span their cells as one continuous bar, and clicking one cross-filters the rest of the report.

Calendar

Illustration of the visual's layout.

A calendar visual shows date-based records the way people already read a diary: a month, week or day grid with an event in each cell. A table of bookings with start and end dates holds the same rows, but the busy weeks, the double bookings and the free slots only appear once the rows are laid out on a grid.

The Calendar for Power BI takes a Start Date, an optional End Date and an Event Title, colours events by Category, and can open a Detail URL when someone clicks one. Clicking an event cross-filters the rest of the page, and slicers on the page filter the calendar in turn.

It serves as an event calendar, a schedule view or a booking calendar; the fields you bind decide which.

Capabilities

  • Multiple views

    Switch between Month, Week, Day and Agenda layouts, plus Year, Quarter and Semester rollups.

  • Multi-day events

    Events spanning several days draw as one continuous bar across the cells, not a repeated chip per day.

  • Density handling

    Busy days collapse to a "+N more" indicator with an expandable popover, so the grid never overflows.

  • Weekends and non-working days

    Shade or hide weekends and mark holidays, with a configurable first day of the week.

Where it's used

  • Bookings, reservations and room scheduling
  • Absence, leave and shift planning
  • Campaign and content calendars
  • Deadline and milestone tracking
