Schedule recurring/repeating events by the 'third Wednesday of the month' or 'last day of month'
Sometimes I need to schedule something based on the day of the week and the number of weeks in the month. In other words, if I have something that occurs on the "third Wednesday of every month," I can't schedule it to happen monthly since the number of weeks in a month varies. There is currently no option for this, and I've had to resort to manually calendaring these events individually.

Include 1st, 2nd, third, fourth, last of X months and specified day of the year.

Also, variants of this, such as
- second-last day of the month
- last Monday of the month
- second-last weekday of the month
- etc. -

Some repeating events need to be on the last day of the month (like paying rent) and currently I would need to set it up manually for every month. Would be nice to have this done automatically.

It would be nice to be able to schedule a reoccurring event that happens on the last day of a given month. Currently, if I try to do that on the 31st of January, it disappears in February since there's only 28 days.

I want to be able to set a recurring event on my calendar for the last day of the month. Currently you can set this for a specific numbered day*, or the last of a specified weekday. Either way, you can only get an event near the end of the month, not at the end.
I use this with my current calendar service to remind me to pay some bills.
*With the numbered day, if you pick something like 31 that isn't present in every month, the event gets skipped in other months. So you can only really pick 28 if you want to do this.
I will acknowledge - there's a workaround in that you can easily do 1st day of the month, and then set any reminders 1 extra day ahead.

It would be great having the choice either to select a number of days or to set an end date for daily repeating entries (for instance the participation on an online course for the next 4 days)

I too could use "recurring" appointments adjustable so I can add a board meeting held on, for example, the first Monday of each month rather than date only.

It would be nice to be able to repeat events like on Google every first Monday of the month or every first Wednesday of the month.

When setting up an event in the calendar, we are given the option to repeat weekly, monthly, or yearly. It would be nice to be able to have more variety in what we can pick.
For example, in my native android calendar I can select "repeat every _#_ days/weeks/etc."
