So for example, from 7th Sep 2021 to 18th Sep 2021, I know that there are 1x Monday and 2x Fridays. How can I calculate this from bubble? Thanks! ---

@fredericksia1991 Interesting. One way to do this is a little intricate. I would look forward to hearing how other folks would approach this 😀 as it should be much easier I would think. Anyways here it goes: Loop through the days extracting their number and then group them to count them (using :group by) Explore a karma ware plugin called list shifter to do this in the browser or you can do the looping via backend workflows There are a few steps to do this but I am just laying out the broad strokes @mikeloc @jared.gibb how would you guys approach this? Very interested in knowing your take 👍🏻 ---

Thanks 🙏 @cmarchan Well… if I may, my calendar plugin will do this for you 😉 And it’ll display them nicely too! And not just the dates. It’ll produce them as date/time intervals But if not I’d personally use the Luxon JavaScript library and some looping in a custom built plugin and cut the bubbly headache. You need to loop between the days contained by your start and end date. If the Fay equals a Monday or Friday, push it into a list. Publish the list and now you know which days fall on which dates. ---

Hey @fredericksia1991 ! It’s the [Full Calendar Scheduler Suite](http://forum.bubble.io/t/plugin-full-calendar-scheduler-suite/145087/143) If you’re interested, I can set you up on a trial so you can try it before you buy it! A couple weeks should be plenty of time AND I offer support setting up as I don’t have all the docs for the Timeslot generator. But I am very available and it’s actually fairly simple to use! I’d wait to use it until my next update goes through. I’m waiting for almost 2 weeks now. The update introduces some breaking changes and correlates with the documentation. Either way, I’ll provide support throughout! ---
