A date picker wheel for rosters and plans

A random date generator picks the day so nobody has to: set the first and last date, drop the days of the week that do not work, and spin. Each date in between gets the same slice, which keeps rosters, school events and giveaway draws fair. Show dates the short or long way, spin the days of the week or the months instead, and hide each date once it comes up to fill a whole schedule without doubling up.

How to pick a random date

  1. Choose dates between two days, the days of the week, or the months.
  2. Set the first and last date, and untick any days to skip, like Saturday and Sunday.
  3. Spin. The wheel lands on your random date.
  4. Hide each date once it comes up so no date is drawn twice.

Ways to use a random date

  • Pick the day for a weekend away, a barbecue or a family outing.
  • Choose the draw date for a club raffle or a social media giveaway.
  • Share out cleaning, canteen or carpool duties across the term.
  • Pick a random day of the week for training, a new recipe or games night.
  • Choose a random month for a reading challenge or a savings goal.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get a random date between two dates?

Enter the first and last date on a date picker wheel and spin. The SpinnerWheel random date generator puts every calendar date in between on the wheel, all with the same chance, and can skip days of the week such as weekends.

Can I skip weekends and public holidays?

Untick Saturday and Sunday on the SpinnerWheel date picker to keep only weekdays. A public holiday can be taken off the wheel on its own by hiding it when it comes up, or by starting the range after it.

How do I stop a date coming up twice?

Hide each date once it comes up. On the SpinnerWheel date picker, a hidden date stays off the wheel until it is put back, so a full roster can be drawn without doubling up.

How many dates fit on the wheel?

The SpinnerWheel date picker holds up to 1,000 dates, a little under three years of days. For a longer stretch, drop some days of the week or spin a random month first.

Can it pick a random day of the week or month?

Switch the SpinnerWheel date picker to days of the week or to months. The wheel then holds the seven days or the twelve months, in the language of the page.
