ProCalendar Heatmap

If you report on date-based metrics in Power BI, matrix tables and bar charts hide the seasonality, weekday, and hour-of-day patterns that drive business decisions. ProCalendar Heatmap helps you turn daily and hourly data into one calendar view that shows when activity happens - across days, months, fiscal quarters, multiple years, and hours of the week.

Use ProCalendar Heatmap to spot demand peaks and quiet periods at a glance, compare seasonality year-over-year, surface the impact of holidays and weekends on operations, and find the busiest hours of the week without building five separate visuals. For example, bind a date column and a value, and ProCalendar Heatmap renders a GitHub-style annual heatmap, a familiar month calendar, or a 7 x 24 operational heatmap - all from the same data.

Unlike matrix workarounds, abandoned calendar visuals, or single-mode heatmaps, ProCalendar Heatmap is built for enterprise calendar analytics: five rendering modes in one visual, fiscal-year and holiday awareness, manual color-scale domains with out-of-range colors, multi-metric split cells, and Canvas rendering for large date ranges.

Key Features

• Five calendar modes in one visual - Annual Heatmap (GitHub-style daily grid), Month Heatmap (familiar calendar panels), Multi-Year Heatmap (aligned year bands), Fiscal Quarter Heatmap (Q1-Q4 panels), and Week x Hour Heatmap (7 x 24 operational view), so one visual covers every calendar layout your reports need.
• Holiday and weekend support - mark holidays from a column in your data or from a JSON holiday list, with configurable weekend rules, so holiday and weekend impact on activity is immediately visible.
• Advanced color scales - sequential, diverging, custom palettes, and threshold rules; set a manual min/max domain and out-of-range colors so anomalies stand out instead of being clipped silently.
• Fiscal calendar support - set fiscal year start month so quarters and years line up with how your business reports, not the Gregorian calendar.
• Multi-metric display - show secondary and tertiary values through split cells or composite color, so one calendar can answer two or three questions at once.
• Rich Power BI tooltips - surface date, day-of-week, primary value, secondary fields, region, department, and any field you bind, so report consumers can inspect a day without leaving the report.
• Cell appearance controls - rounded squares or circles, configurable size and gap, dividers between months, empty-cell styling, and independent typography controls for cell and label text.
• Performance options - automatic Canvas rendering for large date ranges, so multi-year dashboards stay responsive.
• Power BI native experience - supports tooltips, cross-filtering, drilldown, context menus, themes, and PDF/PNG export.
