Days guide

See every day of the year at a glance.

Fields

Field wellWhat to put in it
DateYour date column. Pick the column itself, not “Date Hierarchy” (right-click the field in the Date well and choose its name). Text dates and date keys such as 20260317 work too.
ValueThe number to show per day, such as tickets, sales or visits. Several rows on one day are added together.

Set it up

  1. Add Days to the report page (see Install the visuals) and drag in the fields above.
  2. In Format › Layout, pick the layout, whether to show only months with data or whole years, the week start and the number of colour steps.
  3. In Highlight, mark the highest day, the lowest day or a date you choose.

In the report

  • Hover a day for its date and value.
  • Click a day to filter the rest of the report, Ctrl+click for several, or click a month name to pick the whole month.
  • When you select something in another visual, days with none of it fade, and the rest are coloured by the selected part only.
  • The report’s number format, light or dark background and high-contrast mode.
  • Tab into the calendar, move a day or a week at a time with the arrow keys, Enter to select, Escape to clear.
  • Month and weekday names follow the report’s language; the format pane is in English and Norwegian.

Pro features

  • Multi-year: more than 12 months in one calendar
  • Diverging scale: ember below and fjord above zero or the average
  • Week start on Sunday or Saturday

Pro features need a licence key for Days or Everything, or a 14-day trial key. Without a valid key, the calendar shows the latest 12 months, weeks starting on Monday and the sequential scale, with a short notice above the chart and a “Try Pro free” button. Everything else keeps working. See Add your licence key.
