Calendars are a common component found in dashboards if a user is interested in seeing values on a particular day. This is great for going back in history to see our past performance.
In this example, we will work with one month of data for September 2010 and the chart will change according to what the user selects on the calendar.

Drag a Calendar component from the Other section of the Components window onto the canvas.
In the Calendar properties, select Date as the Insertion Type and bind the Destination to the cell G3 of the spreadsheet, as shown next:
