Did you know you can create a calendar view on any of your SharePoint lists?

We’re all familiar with SharePoint calendars – they’re a core feature of SharePoint and a great tool to be able to visualise dates and manage various deadlines.

And even better, if you already have a list with columns that include date fields, you can create a view that will display your list information in a calendar view!

So how do you do it?

1.  First of all, make sure that your list has at least one date column, but preferably two if you would like to show a range. E.g. Start date and End date.

2.  Click on the views dropdown and click “Create new view”

3. On the next screen, select the calendar option and choose the dates from your list that will act as the start and end dates.

If you only have one date field, select it under both the Start Date and End Date options. It will then show up as a milestone, not a range on the Calendar View. Expand “More options” and choose the name of the field that you want to show as the Title of the calendar event. Then click “Create”.

4. Now you will have a calendar view of your list available on your view drop down!
