Reference

Reference information:
I cannot provide a translation, but when you say "es cosa de dos tardes/un día, etc..." it means that you can do that in one o two days.

"Eso no es cosa de un día": you cannot do/solve that in one day.

I hope it helps. It is not an idiom itself.

Could you provide more context? What's before and after?

Reference information:
Basically, see the URL below. The idea is that Sevilla told Zapatero that all he needed to know about the economy could be taught to him in a couple of afternoons.
