[SOLVED] Display Date Range in Calendar View

+1 - use case would be to plan leave for staff - need date ranges to organise resource

Another thumbs up on this request - my use case is very similar to the original poster. I want to see art exhibits as ranges of dates on the calendar view.

+1 on this feature request. We’re evaluating whether to incorporate Airtable into our workflow for managing customers. Promotions are a big part of our business, and they run for weeks at a time. A feature supporting date ranges would allow us to visualize what’s going on and deploy resources accordingly. Displaying a start date, or end date, on its own is very limiting as seeing where promotions overlap drives our decisions on resource allocation. Best,

Couldn’t agree more. Watched the extended video and got excited. Calendar Range is a must for my needs. Not sure why that isn’t included here.

+1 here - very happy building out my first application, and looks like I’ve hit a brick wall due to this feature not being supported. This is a real deal breaker for me unfortunately.

Hello,

I have to manage a reservation calendar which shows the reervation range (let’s say from monday to Saturday) in the calendar.

I have seen that this feature is not available now.

Do you have any idea how to automatically “create” linked one day records in a attached table which will show one record for Monday, one for Tuesday… and so I could expose this table to the calendar view ?

In other words: One field is StartDate, one field is EndDate, on formula field (is it possible?) is calculating the days between Monday and Saturday and crating auomatically the records in the attached table.

Need to do this is needed if possible.

Thanks for your help and for the next dateRange featture.

+1 on this for sure. We use Airtable to track ad copy run dates for post run analysis.

Yes!!! Please!!! I just switched my talent agency info over from google docs and this is the ONLY feature (besides being able to multiply by percentage - which I did a work around formula for) that AirTable is missing. Seriously - I’ll contribute some $$$ if we can get this feature going!

+1 here! We plan events and not being able to see them across a calendar hurts the possibilities.

+1 especially with ics support

I should add that the ics link should be view-dependent, so that we can share/see a filtered calendar.

e.g. use case: a base for event management, including a table with event duration. Create a view filtered by client, then supply the client the ics URL so they can see a synced copy of their events in their preferred calendar app.

+1 here!!! Any idea if this is on the roadmap?

I also need this feature, please!

+1 This would be so helpful! In addition to date ranges, being able to select multiple dates (not necessarily in a range OR on a predictable schedule) would be so useful.

Yes, please! This feature is much needed!

+1 Pretty please. I really hope you are already working on this.

• 1 from me too. We’d totally move my department’s project management calendar to Air Table if we could have this.

Matt from Airtable here. We are currently planning out improvements to Calendar View including support for date ranges. To set up a date range, you’ll configure a calendar with a separate start date and end date field; the end date can be a Date field or a Formula field.

These improvements will be available in beta in a couple months.

Fantastic news, any plan for a Gantt type view?

And this will be possible with dates in linked and/or lookup fields too ?

These improvements will include support for formula- and rollup-based date fields as well. Since a lookup field may contain multiple dates, there’s some additional complexity to supporting them, but we’re exploring the possibility.

Great news! Piggybacking a tiny request: dragging onto the calendar is one of my favorite methods. Would it be possible to get a “drag to set range” interaction in the calendar view? Like so:

Drag a record onto a calendar day, setting the start date

Drag the record to span N days on the calendar, setting the end date

I’m finding that dragging onto the calendar is actually making me set dates, something I often skip in other planning tools.

Yes, the dragging behavior you described will be supported.

Hi Matt - good to hear there’s more coming soon. Will the beta be freely available, or do I need to sign up somewhere?

We’ll reply to this thread when a public beta is ready.
