Default format cells in 30 different sheets

That's an odd way of doing it! I would format the cells as date and
arrange to have each cell except for the first one to increment the
cell from the previous sheet, i.e. a formula like:

=Sheet1!A1 + 1 in Sheet2
=Sheet2!A1 + 1 in Sheet3
=Sheet3!A1 + 1 in Sheet4, etc

Then all you need to do is enter 1-Jun-07 in A1 on the first sheet and
the other sheets will have the date rippled through.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
I have a workbook containing 31 sheets (one for each day) named from 1 to
31. In a cell I want to display the date as "1-May-07", next sheet
"2-May-07",...
For now I have set up a custom format like 0"-May-07" so I only enter the
numbers 1 to 31. Now, if i create the same workbook for another month, is
there a quick way to turn "May" into "June" without changing the first cell
format and copy it into each cell in each sheet?

Thank you !
