Monthly Recurring Events on Multiple Days of the Month

[Steve Froehlich]

Hello,

I know there are only regular patterns of recurring events, but I can’t seem to create a regular pattern of the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month… am I missing something or can you only do 1 day (like the 2nd or 4th Sunday) recurring each month?

If that is not possible, would the best alternative be to create two events (one that recurs the 2nd Sunday and one that recurs the 4th)? Is there any way to link them?

Thank you so much,
Melody

Hi Melody and welcome to the forums!

That’s a good question and I’m surprised it doesn’t come up more often.

You’re not missing anything at all. For now, the custom monthly recurrence only accepts a single condition (e.g. second Sunday of each month) rather than multiple conditions (second and fourth Sunday of each month).

However, a different way to go would be the custom weekly recurrence. For example, you could set the event to recur on Sundays every other. Then again, that might place some instances on weeks that are not the second or fourth Sunday–give it a try though and you can always delete specific instances from a recurring series.

Will that work for you? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!

Okay, thank you for the quick reply! I’ll try that… just wanted to make sure it actually wasn’t a possibility before settling for something less ideal.

Thanks again!

Sure thing! Thanks so much for marking this thread as resolved — I’ll go ahead and close it up, but do please feel free to open a new one if any other questions pop up. 🙂

Cheers!
