Remove future recurrences w/o removing past appointments
How does one remove future recurrences without removing past appointments or
removing changes to past appointments? If a meeting is set up with recurrences, sometimes that weekly meeting might be canceled, so I delete that meeting on the particular date. Sometimes this meeting might be held in another location, so I open the recurring meeting on that particular date to make appropriate changes. I would like to not delete all of these past meetings and for the past meetings that were deleted, I'd like then to stay deleted. But for future recurrences of the meeting, there are no more. How do I do this? It seems that if one would now put in an end date (say today), it would "resurrect" all of the past meetings I deleted. If I end it by "delete the series", then everything is gone including the past meetings I wanted to keep. Can anything be done here? |

Setting and end dat will accomplish the first of what you want,. but not the second, because changing the recurrence will cause Outlook to regenerate the series, as you observe. Instead, export your calendar to a CSV. Since you have recurring appointments and Outlook can't export a recurrence. it will ask you for the date range the export should cover. Select the range covering the range of the recurring appointment up until the end date. It will export the recurrences as individual items, exceptions included. After exporting, edit the CSV (either with Excel or Notepad) and remove all but the specific recurring appointment. Delete the original appointment from the calendar and import the CSV. It will add the appointments back in as individual appointments, with the exceptions shows as you had modified them. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
