Is there a way to add the "Calendar" new screen without forcing the user to select a calendar from the dropdown?

I mean, it all works well, but I'd like to display a specific calendar when that screen becomes visible automatically.

I've tried many different things and it seems impossible, so if anyone has a solution, I'd appreciate.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for but here is my try.

Since calendar selection dropdown Default property was set to "_myCalendar.DisplayName" we need to put the calendar we want it to select by default to that _myCalendar variable.

I assume that I want to pick default calendar by its DisplayName, So I set the screen's OnVisible property to
Set( _myCalendar, LookUp(Office365Outlook.CalendarGetTables().value, DisplayName = "United States holidays") ); Select(dropdownCalendarSelection1);
This mean when calendar screen is showing up it will look for a calendar "United States holidays" and put it in _myCalendar variable. Then we use Select() to simulate the selection the calendar selection dropdown because the default generated calendar will updated when user click that dropdown.

Here is a result, United States holidays calendar will automatically selected when screen is visible

Thank you, I believe that makes it.

Although.. the calendar takes quite a lot of time to display, sometimes around 5 seconds or so, do you know why?

Yes, There are some delay because Power Apps will fetch the user's calendar from Outlook every time that screen is visible.
