It's been hours so it seems this is impossible?

little patience, holiday season is coming

basically, you can use one of two approaches

1. use CAML query to identify overlapping events in calendar. you can get an idea of how it might have looking eg here  

it might seem a bit complex at first sight, but advantage of this approach is that is could handle recurring events.

2. brute force way - read in all the events including their start and end dates into collection variables and then within a loop compare single events to each other.

Note that this will not work for recurring events, since this way you will not get them expanded and will just dates of first occurrence.

Thank you ‌. I'll try this approaches.

Hi ‌,

I have successfully created a working workflow. Will the workflow crash if it becomes so big? Because comparing each dates that I queried creates a very large workflow.

Thanks

if you were able to publish it, it shouldn't crash due to size at runtime.

but I wonder why it would be so big.

what approach you decided to go with?

Hi ‌,

The workflow I created will read in all the events created and compare them to each other. So if I have 10 events I will use condition to compare 1 item to the other 9 and so on.

Thanks

and if one adds 11th, 12th, 13th, etc event you want to always redesign the workflow???

as I said above, you should read in all the events to compare mutually into collection variables.

then, within 2 nested for each loops compare single events.

I still can't visualize it. If you're not that busy it is possible if you can show me a very simple representation of what you are saying? Also, to answer your question if one adds nth number of events I will modify the workflow again.

Thanks a lot.

I've posted a blog with an example and detailed explanation.

have a look here  

hope it helps

Hi ‌,

Thanks a lot . This really help me solved my problem.

Cheers,
