Hello,

I am currently trying to migrate some old calendars on classic SharePoint to a modern SharePoint site by making a new List on modern SharePoint and putting it into calendar view. I am having trouble making stat holidays recur so that the same stat holiday appears on the same days for the following years. I have heard some talk about using Power Automate to make this happen but have had no luck personally. I was wondering if there was a way to make recurring events in a List that could recur on a specific date on a timeline. For example, in the picture shown is an on call calendar on Classic SharePoint in which the events recur on a bi-weekly or weekly basis. Any information on how to make these events recur is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

To make recurring events in a List on Modern SharePoint, you can follow these steps:

Create a New List: Start by creating a new list in your modern SharePoint site.
Choose the appropriate list type (e.g., “Events” or “Custom List”).
Add a Date Field: Add a date field to your list. This field will represent the specific date for recurring events.
Use Power Automate: As you mentioned, Power Automate (formerly known as Flow) can help automate processes.
Create a flow that triggers when a new item is added to your list. In the flow, use recurrence settings to specify how often the event should recur (e.g., weekly, bi-weekly).
Set the date field value based on the recurrence pattern.
Calendar View: Once your list contains recurring events, create a calendar view for it.
Customize the view to display the date field and any other relevant information.
