Yes Andy,

Each cell has the formula in it incremented to the cell that it is in.
Very strange isn't it?

I typed the date in as 23rd January, 2006. but I have also used 23/1/2006
and 23.1.2006. I have re-installed Office 2003 so many times that I have run
out of 'activations'

What a cheek! I buy the genuine MS program, and I get all this hassle when
I need to activate it. Treated like a criminal. I really think that I will
have to go over to Open Office. It's free and doesn't need activation.

Sorry for the gripe, but I had to get it off my chest. Anyway, thank you for
your help. I am using Excel in this instance because the computer on which
the program will be running has Office 2003. Press on regardless.

Regards

Frank

Hi

If you click in a cell with #VALUE, what does the formula bar say is the
formula in the cell. Each column should increment on the previous, so =A1+7
becomes =B2+7, which becomes =B3+7
Also, is your starting cell an Excel date? The usual way they display is
dd/mm/yyyy (for English).
It should be really easy!

Andy,

I have done this, I just get the "#VALUE" in every other cell.

A1 B1 C1 D1 etc
23.1.2006 =A1+7 #VALUE #VALUE

Using the same procedure in Open Office Calc works fine. No luck with
Excell2003

If you select the cell which in which you have typed =A2+7, there will be
a
little black square in the bottom right hand corner. Move your mouse over
it
and it becomes a cross. You can drag this cross along the row to copy the
formula across.

Hi Andy,

How do I fill the remaining ones. Do I have to type in each column
seperately?

Hi

Type your first date in A2. In the next cell use
= A2+7
You can fill this across as necessary.

I have tried without success. Any help gratefully received.

1/1/2006 - 8/1/2006 - 15/1/2006 etc.
