• Click on the add question button.
• Under basic question types » basic matrix, click on calendar question.

• Validation: By default, validation option is turned off. Respondents can skip and move ahead in the survey without answering the question. You can enable validation if you don't want to allow respondents to skip this question. By enabling validation option you can see a drop-down with options - force response and request response.

  Force response option makes a question mandatory/required, as shown in the above image. The respondents cannot finish survey without answering a mandatory question. For calendar question, additional validation options appear when you select force response. These options allow you to restrict respondents from selecting date other than the dates that you specify.
