For last day of the month, you could have something like:
(defun calendar-last-day-of-month-p (date &optional mark)
(when (= 1
(extract-calendar-day
(calendar-gregorian-from-absolute
(1+ (calendar-absolute-from-gregorian date)))))
(cons mark entry)))
And then
%%(calendar-last-day-of-month-p date) #B _ Your task
For the last Friday of the month, you can use diary-float. I think it
would be something like:
%%(diary-float t 5 -1) #B _ Your task
