This is one I can't wrap my head around - this might be more of a math question, but maybe there's something in Excel that can help.

I'm looking to schedule a number of events over a period, and want to space them evenly out over yes and no times.

As an example, I'll say that I have a food calendar, and over two weeks, I want to eat vegetables 9 of 14 days. The schedule would looking something like this:

DayScheduleAlpha
11yes
21yes
30no
41yes
51yes
60no
71yes
81yes
90no
101yes
111yes
120no
131yes
140no

To make it work, it's somewhat irregular, especially towards the end, and fully manual.

I'm not sure how to wrap my head around the problem - like using modulo or something...? Kind of stumped.

Is there an easier way to generate a frequency or sequence? This example is pretty small, but I'd like to consider something fairly large, and variable (X occurrences over Y days).

Thanks!
