I got a result of 121 instances of Friday the 13th. And no there are no years that do not have a Friday the 13th. Sorry, Jason... No time off.

I used the input to make the workflow a little more dynamic.  You could change the date or day of week and the workflow still works...

I also tried years between 1600 and 9999 and couldn't find any that would not contain a Friday the 13th,..maybe only in cases where years were skipped due to calendar corrections?  I've read about cases like that during the Renaissance?

I played with this one a bit...

Of course with such a small data set, it would have been smarter to generate every date and just grab date we wanted.
