How to set the repeat date to be the 2nd Wednesday of the month?

says:
Actually, I need to set it to the Thursday after the 2nd Wednesday of the month (therefore, it is usually the 2nd Thursday but occasionally the 3rd Thursday of the month).

I second this!

The first Saturday of the month, the last Friday of the month, the Saturday after the last Friday of the month - all useful.

Thanks for the suggestion - we may add more options for repeating tasks in the future if this is something that many people would find useful.

I'd like to set a reminder on the 4th of the month unless the 4th is a weekend in which case it should move back to the Friday before the 4th! Simple,eh?

Task: lock up the store
Due: Monday at 5pm

Add my name to this request.

Dare I suggest, in addition to all the 'user-friendly' formats, a math format using various date variables (mday: day of month (1-31), wday: day of week (0-6), yday: day of year (1-366), mon: month of year (1-12),

Examples:

wday==4 && mday>=9 && mday<=15

--> selects: Thursday after 2nd Wed.

(mday-wday)>=2 && (mday-wday) <=8

--> selects: every day of the second week of the month (hint: mday-wday is the mday of Sunday)

On the subject of repeats, I'd find it fairly useful if you could set expiring repeats -- things that repeat on an interval, but expire after a certain number of repeats. Eg. "repeats every 2 days 10 times"

That would be wicked cool.

Yeah, or "repeat every Friday until June 11" or whatever. So I can add soccer practice until the end of the school year, for example.

Has this been added as a feature yet? I would like to set up an agenda for my meetings on the 3rd Sunday of the month and I've been looking for a way to repeat this task.
