You want to generate 365ish pages - one per day?

 

Then it's a "standard" DataMerge. 

You need to create a template and populate it with info from your DataSource:

There are also a lot of tutorials - please check Google and YouTube.

4 pages per day means 1,460 pages

There is no problem in generating the page but there is a problem in linking it. 1460 Pages is difficult to do manually. So it has to be automated with javascript

    I think the Calendar Wizard script (somewhere mentioned in Eugenes link) can help.
