Hi

I was wondering if anyone knew of a way of typing a date for example
01/01/07 and then when you drag the crosshaire into the next cell instead of
it saying 02/01/07 it adds 28 days on to it so it says 28/01/07 and so on

Regards Joel

Instead of dragging just enter "=a1+28" into the next cell. (assuming
the first date is in cell a1) See xl help for times and dates.

Off the top of my head, suppose the date is in A2, make a1
=a2-28, cut and special paste its value into A1, set A2=a1+28.
Then pulling the tab will do the trick. Not very elegant but it
works.
