Calendar query for recurring events


 

My group has a foodbank collection last saturday in each month. Is there any way of setting that up in Calendar? Cheers.

Rob -- As in Yahoo Groups, this kind of recurring event is not supported. You will have to set them up individually.

See?

There are 84 'Last Weekday of Month' each year (7x12) that can not be referenced, e.g. Last Friday of the Month
see "Calendar missing "Last" function for repeating events"

2018-06-25

We should bring it up again in 2020 on the beta (suggestion) group
and hopefully this oversight will be addressed...

Alas, no.

If you go to a last Saturday of a month that has five and create the event there you can select:

Repeats: Monthly
Repeats Every: 1 months
Repeat by day of the week

Then the Repeat summary says "Monthly on the Fifth Saturday", and it means exactly that.

You could also set up a repeating event for the Fourth Saturday, but in months that have a fifth you'd have to manually delete the instance on the fourth.

I would love to see this feature added to the calendar also. It is a common event occurrence and would be very helpful.?
