Thursday before the 3rd Friday of the month

[Noah]

I need to make a recurring event that occurs on the Thursday before the 3rd Friday of each month. This is complicated because that Thursday is not always the 3rd Thursday of the month. How can I do this?

Hello Noah,

Thanks for going Pro and welcome to the forums!

Wow! Such a cool question! It really shows how varied our calendar is being used which makes us proud!

I’m sorry to say though that there is no easy one-click solution for that at the moment.

What you can do is:

• set up an event recurring every 3rd Thursday
• check and exclude (with rule(s)) manually those ones which are not good
• add manually (with rule(s)) when it is the 2nd Thursday

I checked the calendar and in 2017 there are only 2 occasions like that, in September and in December. (Need to look for the months that start on a Friday, right? 😉 ) In 2018 it is only one month, June.

The setup for 2017 would be something like this:

 

I hope this helps. Let me know if there’s anything else.

Cheers,
Andras
