How about when you have a task to do on the 1st of every month... but you want it to be the first WORK DAY of the month... I set up the appointment for day 1 every 1 month, but it is scheduling on the weekends if the 1st falls there. In earlier versions PRIOR to 365, there were many more options and flexibility with scheduling. There used to be an option where it asks you "if falls on a weekend" and then gave you options (keep, move to work day prior - aka friday... or move to work day after - aka Monday) Not having this function is really messing with my time and efficiency creating double bookings when I have tasks that should have had the time blocked. ugh...

This solution does not work with Outlook 365 on the Mac. In the new design there is no option to pick the recurrence days.

How do you set up a recurring for every 5 days, not including weekend. Like a rotating reminder to work a specific log every 5 days. So it would not always be a specific day, like a Monday or Tuesday, that I would work this log but every Fifth day?

wrong solution. Every other day (every second day) means: M - W - F - .- Tu - Th - . - M ....

I guess this solution does not solve the problem. The days are not alternate, as in Friday is followed by Tuesday when we exclude weekends. IMO, with MS Outlook such a case cannot be executed.
