I was hoping to get help on some strategy. My app lists local restaurant specials, I sort them by date which works great, but what if a place has a different special every day, the same day every week. For instance, taco tuesday, clam chowder on Fridays…I’d want to allow Restaurateurs to post once, a reoccurring event. Any thoughts on how to 1) setup the creation of such an event and 2) display it only when near the date? Thank you all. Ian ---

I believe if you just type the day of the week into a date column, it will automatically calculate the correct date and dynamically change each week. ---

Jeff, You are right. This is helpful for taking the entry of “Wednesday”. When I display them, grouped by “Weekdays” it returns the converted date. Any thoughts on Converting it back to the day? ![b204e261-29b9-404b-84e5-0c7cbad600cf](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/e/a/eadbfa9d755f1c715a41b7f878632a80c8e31390.png) ---

You will have to first create a Math column with this formula `WEEKDAY(date)` which will give you the numerical equivalent of the day of a week. Then you will need an IF/THEN column to check that number and return the Text version of numeric day of the week.
