Birthday in Calendar?

Hello everyone. I haven’t been with SeaTable long and am currently working on the calendar. I’m wondering how to display birthdays in the calendar. How do I generate recurring appointments? Thank you for your help.

Hi @Loedi.

A simple way could be to create a column with the original date of birth. You could then create a second column of type formula, concatenate the day and month with the current year and use that as the next birthday date.

Something like:
The original column: BD = 16.08.1999
The formula column: date(day({BD}), month({BD}), year(today())) = 16.08.2023 (should be)

There is no option to mark an event as recurring in SeaTable. Sorry for that.

This is a simple and straightforward workaround.

Thank you for your help. But the result is unfortunately not quite right. What am I doing wrong. Thanks again…

Hi Loedi,

I tested it as well and the resulting birth date is completely wrong as well.

Haha, nice. It’s the wrong way. It has to be date(year, month, day).

Yup, that’s the one.

Fine and thanks, but the result is not correct. At least that’s the right direction…

Your code should be:
date(year(today()), month({Geburtsdatum}), day({Geburtsdatum}))

The year should be “today” as you want the current year. months and days are extracted from the Geburtsdatum column
