Here's my attempt (tested *very* lightly): &%%(let ((lastday (calendar-last-day-of-month (calendar-extract-month date) (calendar-extract-year date))) (day (calendar-extract-day date))) (= day lastday)) last day of month ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Try thinking about the last day of the month being one day before the first day of the next month. - Carsten On Feb 9, 2009, at 10:07 PM, Tassilo Horn wrote: Manish writes: I am having trouble with something pretty basic. I am trying to setup a recurring deadline on the last day of every month. However, when I set it as <2009-02-28 +1m>, the next deadline shows up at 2009-03-28, rather than 31st March. I don't use appt/diary. Is there a way to do this in org-mode? Currently not possible to the best of my knowledge. IMHO, including via diary seems to be a reasonable workaround. I was curious how to get that done, but I couldn't find a diary for "each last day of a month" in diary, too.
