Hi @Deena, I had the same type of issue: creating recurring tasks, starting at different dates and appearing according to different frequency. I built a workaround described below\*. Basically, it consists in converting a starting date into a number in GSheet \> make it a template column \> link this number with a “year date” \> add a frequency. - It is a fastidious approach that may be simplified with the new “dates” comparison function, but I don’t dare touching it! It would be better if done by an expert as a “best practise” > [@Meet with Me: A Booking App that Prevents Conflicts](https://community.glideapps.com/t/meet-with-me-a-booking-app-that-prevents-conflicts/5916/67): > > Hi @Robert_Petitto, With regards to your “date calculation” need in the dataeditor, I might (?) have found a workaround. At this stage, it works in my app, so if it can be useful for you I would be happy to make my 1st contribution to this so helpful forum slight_smile nb 1: the ignition of the idea came from an exchange with @ThinhDinh @Jeff_Hagernb 2: I give you the procedure below, and I’m sure that you will be able to make it simpler (as a newbie, I built something quite complicated)… --- _[View the full topic](https://community.glideapps.com/t/create-recurring-weekly-events/12566)._
