Hey guys!  
How do you guys make checkboxes anywhere for habits that need to reappear every day or every so and so?

Hi, this is a workaround to create recurring events on a given period.  
nb: I don’t know if there were some changes in Glide since this post which would simplify the approach (key painpoint was that Glide did not enable calculations on dates).

> 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)…

Hello 🙂

Any update on that ?

I have habit rows…  
i compute if the streak is succeed (at present time)

I managed to do it for daily habits with  
=\> IF “current day” is within maths: **“LASTLY DONE DATE” + 24H = STREAK IS TRUE** (currently succeed/not failed yet)

User will want to do it at different frequency…  
# **daily** habits **✔**  
#- **specific days of the week** habits (monday yes, tusday no, wednesday no, thursday yes …): 🆘

FYI:  
i know how to use (found the topic 🥳):  
 → the weekday(day) math function. to get the day if the week number(1,2,3,4,5,6,7)  
 → easier option as David recommended: [Glide • Format Date column](https://www.glideapps.com/plugins/format-date)

I have a feeling it’s more of a math game than logic… but i’m below average in Maths \>\<

Thanks in advance
