Getting Recurring Events to appear in a table view from Calendar

B

Help!

Please tell me I can show a list of various types of activites (ex: 4
visits to shut ins; 2 meetings etc). All events are recurring monthly.
How can I get these to show up in various categories I've assigned
them to so that I don't have to count them up manually.

I'd like a table view with the following:

Shut In Visits (4)
first name date (current month)
first name date (current month)
first name date (current month)
first name date (current month)

Meetings (2) in similar fashion

Please PLEASE tell me a sophisticated program like outlook won't make
me go to calendar view and count them up manually. What a waste of
time!

Recurring events are single items that repeat, therefore they only display with a single instance.

You'd need to export them to excel and import them back into outlook - this
breaks the recurrences but they will be listed as individual items in the
table view.



** Please include your Outlook version, Account type, and Windows Version
when requesting assistance **

Thanks so much for your help. I do appreciate your help. I am,
however, just a bit disappointed that Outlook just can't do the table
thing. There is probably some explanation that makes sense, but right
now, I just wanted the program to give me data. Such power-such
limitations.
"We have machines that do the work" is what's guiding me here. My
machine is making me count manually. Crazy, man!

it can do the table thing - but recurring events are a single event that
recurs not 4 separate events, so its shown in table view as the single event
it is. if you want to see 4 separate events, make 4 separate events -
which is highly recommended if you are writing notes in each occurrence.
