How to add a calendar in Notion
A calendar view shows each row of a Notion database on the day in its Date property. This video adds one to a Projects table with three due dates, then moves ahead a month to find the last one. It's a view on your page, not Notion Calendar, Notion's separate calendar app.

0:00Here's the Team Planning page, with a Projects table where every row has a due date. Let's see those same projects laid out on a calendar.
0:08Hover the table's name and click the plus button to add a new view of the same data.
0:14Notion offers several layouts here. Choose Calendar, and each project lands on the day of its due date. Notion picked up the Due date property automatically, so the calendar is already organized by it.
0:26Close the settings panel to see the full calendar. There they are: Website redesign sits on November 13, and Launch email on November 20.
0:36Customer survey is due in December, so click the arrow next to Today to jump ahead a month. And there's Customer survey, right on December 2.
0:47Both views share the same data, and your original Table view is always one click away in these tabs. That's it. With one new view, your Projects table now doubles as a calendar organized by due date.
