Calendar Overlay not possible in Sharepoint Online?
0123456789 You are halfway there, if I understand what you are trying. You've got your individual calendar views on your list, that's the first step.
Overlays can only be done on a calendar list, not on a generic list that happens to have some calendar views.
Go to site contents and create a calendar list, or use the Event list if one has already been created. It's basically a calendar list with a modern front end. On that calendar view you'll see the 'calendar overlay' button there. You should be able to add your other list views to this to get your color coding.
Robin Nilsson I think I fall into the "cannot be done" category because I'm creating calendar views of an existing list, not a dedicated calendar list. The list has a lot of columns (project name, website, description, contact name, contact email address, application date, notification date, project start date, project end date, etc). I then went to List Settings -> Create View -> Calendar and then used one of the date columns for both Time Interval columns. I repeated that for each of the date columns. So sounds like I may be out of luck.
0123456789 Oh wait. I might have misunderstood you. I found another article and it seems to be doing what I want. Thanks for your help!
