Century Cells Format

Updated on Dec 10, 2025

Starting with Kendo UI suite R2 2024, the MultiViewCalendar component provides two formats for the decades listed in the century view:

• long (default)—Shows decades in the YYYY-YYYY format (for example: 2010-2019).
• short—Shows only the starting year of the decade (for example: 2010).

To change the way decades display in the MultiViewCalendar century view, you can use centuryCellsFormat.

The following example shows how to change the display format for decades in the Century view.

    <div id='multiviewcalendar'></div>
    <script>
        $("#multiviewcalendar").kendoMultiViewCalendar({
            centuryCellsFormat: "short",
            start: "century"
        });
    </script>
