If you want to retain the information for each set of seedlings, use
more than one column (or row, if you prefer). You can copy the formula
over or down as appropriate. Since the last ff date won't change, use an
absolute address:

A B C
1 <ff date Plant 1 Plant 2
2 <wks from ff dt <wks from ff dt
3 =$A$1-B2*7 =$A$1-C2*7

then when you copy, the A1 reference will stay the same while the value
you're subtracting will automatically change.

I am so excited to have this work! Thank you! You cannot even imagine how
excited I am about such a simple formula!

Now I have a problem though: What do I do if the date varies - such as the
# of weeks before the last ff date are 5 to 6 weeks? Will I have to use two
seperate columns?
