MAQ Software Calendar

Hi, 

 

I am using a calendar form Custom Visual developped by MAQ Software. 

I have some issues about this visual 

- When in a day have more than 2 events for instance Math and Philosophy, it doesn't show the two events in the view multi-month, It just shows +2more

 

- Also, can we have a contorle about the start month and the end moth in a year. My Goal is that an academic year stat from September into October the next year. 

 

Can anyone help or already use this visual please? 

 

Thanks

    Hi Dionah  - The MAQ Software Calendar custom visual is quite popular but has some inherent limitations, especially when dealing with multi-event displays and academic year configurations. Unfortunately, the MAQ Calendar visual may not natively support custom fiscal or academic year settings. 

     

    Create a Date Table in Power BI with a custom academic year column.

    AcademicYear =
    IF(
    MONTH('DateTable'[Date]) >= 9,
    YEAR('DateTable'[Date]) & "-" & YEAR('DateTable'[Date]) + 1,
    YEAR('DateTable'[Date]) - 1 & "-" & YEAR('DateTable'[Date])
    )

     

    Use slicers or filters to limit the calendar to specific months (e.g., September through October of the next year). However, this may not dynamically adjust the visual's displayed range.

     

     

    If the visual doesn’t allow this natively, consider asking MAQ Software directly for support. They may provide guidance or updates to the visual based on your needs.

     

    MAQ Software has an email support system at support@maqsoftware.com, and their team is responsive to queries.

    Hi rajendraongole1 , thanks for your response, exactly, I have done this date table but  it is no dynamically, I mean, even if the start date is 01 September  2025 (for example), then the calendar still start in January. Yes, I know there no event in January up to August, but  why the visual doesn't change? 

     

    Yes, I will contact them . 

     

    Thnks
