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_Eekelenis there a way to have a yearly view tab for this sheet? For example have the months in the Cols where the days are for the month view and dates of each month in the rows.
I guess you can but it's probably easier to build such a calendar from scratch in order to avoid all the design quirks involved in the template dealt with in this thread.
Riny_van_Eekelen Thanks for the reply. Could you please assist me with creating a blank year view that I could have a tab like the assignment one to populate the dates?
