Show Current Calendar Month Items in a Graphed Timeline

Ryan at Pentalogic has tackled a common request among SharePoint Information Workers: how do I show items in a list that are in the current month. His step-by-step walk through, How To Use Filters in SharePoint to show items in the current Calendar Month, with additional ideas for implementation is nice, but it’s the diagram that really stopped me to think a little bit.

Timeline Chart

With the techniques Christophe is developing for presenting HTML data in a calculated column, this looks do-able. I like the idea of exposing the information along a timeline to get a quick, visual reference as to the timed location of an event.

I’m going to look into this a little more to see if I can recreate the image, using a SharePoint list. This should be a fun little exercise.
