Hello, I’m trying to setup a VBA to setup a reminder on outlook for scheduling purposes. Column A contains the date and times with half hour intervals starting at 8am and ending 8pm. I want it to pick up information from other columns, but the data from column A to establish the date and interval. So, it would take the column C value to establish a reminder needs to be set and use coul

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
I have this to create calendar date/time reminders as recurring events. If you don't get any more focused help, maybe you can adapt it. In the source sheet, col A contains names, col B the date time e.g. 2/18/1963 8:00:00 AM.
VBA Code:
Sub ImportBirthdaysToCalendar()
    Dim objWorksheet As Excel.Worksheet
    Dim nRow As Integer, nLastRow As Integer
    Dim objOutlookApp As Outlook.Application
    Dim objCalendar As Outlook.Folder
    Dim objBirthdayEvent As Outlook.AppointmentItem
    Dim objRecurrencePattern As Outlook.RecurrencePattern
 
    'Get the specific sheet
    Set objWorksheet = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
    nLastRow = objWorksheet.Range("A" & objWorksheet.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
 
    Set objOutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set objCalendar = objOutlookApp.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalendar)
 
    For nRow = 2 To nLastRow
        Set objBirthdayEvent = objCalendar.Items.Add("IPM.Appointment")
 
        'Create birthday events
        With objBirthdayEvent
            .Subject = objWorksheet.Range("A" & nRow) & Chr(39) & "s Birthday"
            .Body = "Born " & Format(Int(objWorksheet.Range("B" & nRow)), "mmmm dd, yyyy")
            .AllDayEvent = False
            .Start = objWorksheet.Range("B" & nRow)
            .BusyStatus = olFree
            .ReminderSet = True
            .ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = 4320
         Set objRecurrencePattern = .GetRecurrencePattern
         With objRecurrencePattern
            .RecurrenceType = olRecursYearly
            .PatternStartDate = objWorksheet.Range("B" & nRow)
            .NoEndDate = True
         End With
            .Save
        End With
    Next
End Sub
