Populate dynamic calendar with table data
Mthammon The calendar template you chose isn't well suited for what you have in mind. As most templates, it's packed with tricks and treats. This particular one is full of named formulae. Neat, but near to impossible to tweak without destroying something else. But, there are templates "out there" that can do what you need. Not too long ago, I adapted such a template for another user on this forum, though it uses the rather new FILTER function. The original template just highlighted that "something was due" on a particular date without specifying what. After my adaption it actually displays the assignment(s) due on a given day.
I took a few columns from your data sheet and dumped them in the template. See if it works for you (file attached). If not, keep searching for a better template.

Riny_van_Eekelen thanks for your help! I think the template you provided will work just fine for my needs! I appreciate the insight about the calendar template I had chosen, that answers why I was having so much trouble will any of the formulas I was trying to build on top of that.
I appreciate your time, it has saved me a lot of trouble!
