Need to build a Calendar with "things to do"

I need to build this calendar that does not have any values, but has the list of things I need to do each date. I am unable to generate a visual as my data contains just dates, month and things to do. Can you help me if this is possible to be done. Will attach the screednshots here. The No "1" just signifies this task i need to do.My raw dataMy raw dataThe power BI visual I generatedThe power BI visual I generated

Hi @Navneet_NVNY ,

 

What is the visualization you are using? I was abvble to do it with  Calendar visual by MAQ Software, but there are other on the store.

Hi @Navneet_NVNY ,

 

The sorting is based on alphabeticle order.

 

If you have a month number column (if not you need to create one) you can sort the month name by the column:
