Scheduling a monthly event “Every Nth Weekday or Weekend Day” using RFC 5545 recurrence rule

Question

I've found similar question name, but it is a little different.

Office365 UI interface can provide recurring rule where repeat: monthly On second weekday or repeat: monthly On third weekend day

How I could represent second weekday and third weekend day using RFC 5545?

Answer 1

• monthly on second weekday:

  FREQ=MONTHLY;BYDAY=MO,TU,WE,TH,FR;BYSETPOS=2

  This rule expands to every weekday of each month, but in the end selects only the 2nd day of the set.

• monthly on third weekend day

  FREQ=MONTHLY;BYDAY=SA,SU;BYSETPOS=3

  This rule expands to every weekend day of each month, but in the end selects only the 3rd result of the set.
