From the org manual:
,----[8.1. Timestamps, deadlines, and scheduling]
| DIARY-STYLE SEXP ENTRIES
| For more complex date specifications, Org mode supports using the
| special sexp diary entries implemented in the Emacs calendar/diary
| package. For example
|
| * The nerd meeting on every 2nd Thursday of the month
| <%%(diary-float t 4 2)>
`----
Here's how to schedule the examples above:
* First Tuesday of month
<%%(diary-float t 2 1)>
* Third Sunday of month
<%%(diary-float t 0 3)>
* First or third Wednesday of month
<%%(or (diary-float t 3 1) (diary-float t 3 3))>
Best,
Matt
