Generate dates from weekdays

Hi,

 

I want to generate dates corresponding to a list of weekdays within a date range. 

 

Here is my table:

 

ID  Time      Start Date    End Date     Recurrence
10 09:10:00 29/08/2023 08/09/2023 "Monday","Wednesday","Friday"
11 09:00:00 29/08/2023 29/10/2023 "Monday","Thursday","Friday"
12 10:00:00 23/08/2023 01/11/2023 "Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday"

 

Here is an example for ID 10 of the output I would like to have:

 

ID  Time      Start date    End date     Recurrence date
10 09:10:00 29/08/2023 08/09/2023 30/08/2023
10 09:10:00 29/08/2023 08/09/2023 01/09/2023
10 09:10:00 29/08/2023 08/09/2023 04/09/2023
10 09:10:00 29/08/2023 08/09/2023 06/09/2023
10 09:10:00 29/08/2023 08/09/2023 08/09/2023

 

Thanks
