Calendar Chart

A calendar chart, as the name suggests, depicts the monthly or yearly calendar and is an effective way to visualize data over time. The chart offers a comprehensive view of how data evolves over time. The data based on the values is depicted in a heatmap style, and based on the color of the cell, the value range of the data can be analyzed for that time period. Calendar charts allow for the visualization of data at a daily level over long periods, such as months or years. Calendar charts help in identifying long-term trends and seasonal patterns.
