Default automaticly increment number by elapsed time

Yes, thank you.

Had to get admin to add the "Analysis ToolPak", then it worked. Also, due
to the comments in "Help" added a "-1" to the formula. WEEKNUM counts the
week that includes January 1. Since this year that week was only 2 days, I
don't want it counted as a week.

So the formula as I am using it is "=WEEKNUM(NOW())-1" which today returns
the answer as "9".
Thanks to all for your help.

Did you look at what Excel help for the WEEKNUM function said, in the
sentence starting "If this function is not available, and returns the #NAME?
error, ..."

You are correct that I am looking for the calendar year week count in the
expectation block. I copied this formula and am receiving "#NAME", and
the
internal paranthesis are showing green. Does this mean I need to insert
more
data?

I'm thinking you can get the expectation by using =Weeknum(now()) as long

you're OK with it resetting each year and you start with the calendar
year.

Would that work, or do you need something a little more sophisticated?
