Exclude weekends on meetings that occur every three business days

[Guest]

How do I exclude weekends and holidays when scheduling meetings that occur
every three business days? I've tried multiple things and searched for an
answer to this to no avail.

Outlook doesn't support exclusions on recurring meetings. You'll need to
create them manually or using another method - such as create it in excel
and import.

You could cheat...

It's not the most elegant solution but...

Create a meeting that recurs every three weeks on monday and thursday.

Another in the follwing week that recurs every three weeks on tuesday and
friday.

And finally one in the third week that recurs every three weeks on
wednesday.

That should give you the pattern you want, (I've assumed mon-fri as business
days here)

How would Diane's 'cheat' handle holidays ? How would you do it in
Excel ? I sense that there is a (small) opportunity for an add-in here.

It doesn't - you go through and delete them before importing. It's easier to
look at a list in Excel and use it's VBA to control the dates.
