Error when creating a calendar overlay: "Unable to find lists with calendar view..."

I have a classic calendar on my Sharepoint Online site, and when I try to create a calendar overlay, this error comes up when I try to "Resolve" the site and find my calendar: "Unable to find lists with calendar view in the specified web."

 

Any idea why this might be? Only using classic calendars.

 

 

Thank you

  • Fixed it, had to FIRST make a net new view with a type of Calendar, and then the Overlay was able to pick this up and set it. I was confused to this whole system, because the error said that I do not have ANY Lists with the calendar type, which is not true as my base list I'm working with IS ALREADY A CALENDAR. Very annoying...

      I ran into the same problem, but unfortunately, I do not know what you mean with "FIRST make a net new view with a type of Calenda", could you elaborate? I am new to SharePoint it would help a lot! Thanks 🙂

        Hi WueNet! I faced the same problem, but here's what worked for me based on the s4csurrey`s suggestion:

        1. Go to your list and access List Settings (instead of creating a calendar directly from the main interface).
        2. Scroll to the bottom and select Create View.
        3. Choose Calendar View and set it up from there.

        After doing this, the calendar became visible in the Calendar Overlay settings.

        Hope this helps!
