Rotating days off database calculator? anyone know of one?
Hey all, basically i want my rotating day off to be added to my google/ical calendar, so it needs to understand not to use a sunday and that a saturday off the previous week means that monday will be off the next.
Any ideas?

Any ideas?

Can't you just put a cross on the calendar?

On my iPhone calendar I just add the days of the week separately and then repeat them every 4 weeks.

I use Google for my rota week off, and I would assume you can do something simular. I enter my week off and repeat every 6 weeks, so I think you should be able to do it like this, for example first week = Monday, repeat every 6 weeks, next week Tuesday repeat every 6 weeks etc. I realise you have to enter 6 entries, but you only have to do it once.

Personally I can remember when my days off are, I don't need an phone/app/computer/calender to remind me

Cheers this worked perfectly, i was trying to over complicate things by repeating every 6 days etc etc

I have a brain, it comes in handy for things such as remembering my day-off.

What happens when you want to book a lieu day, or you have something you need to go to in a few months time? I also have a brain so I look at my iPhone and know what my day off is that week within a few seconds, because I take the time to spend a few minutes setting it up each year.Regal wrote:I have a brain, it comes in handy for things such as remembering my day-off.
