Summary

• I recently joined a new team and my manager added me to the ‘daily meeting’ event
• The event has been setup to repeat at 10am every day, Mon-Sun
• This is annoying as the event also occurs on the weekends, and triggers a reminder on my phone
• I want to delete every instance/occurrence of the event that falls on a Saturday/Sunday

Calendar Visual

• The image above shows how the event currently appears in my diary
• The ❌ icons show the occurrences I would like to delete

Solution path 1 (non-technical, amend meeting):

• I realise that the easiest thing would be to amend the re-occurrence setting and simply de-select Sat/Sun…
• However as a meeting recipient (and not organiser) I cannot modify the series/occurrence information

Solution path 2 (non-technical, ask organiser to change):

• Logically, I also considered asking the meeting organiser to amend the series for everyone…
• However, the meeting was created by a director 4 years ago and has been sent to 20+ people in that time. This makes it very awkward, as the newest joiner, to ask my boss’s boss to change this long-standing invite that seemingly no-one else has had a problem with in the past 4 years

Solution path 3 (technical, VBA):

With other option paths seeming blocked, I have resorted to trying to fix this technically (i.e. with VBA) however I need some help please…
