One way.... Put into B5 and copy down:
=date(year(B4)-1,month(B4),day(B4))
Caveat: That does not work well when B4 is Feb 29 and the number of
previous years exceeds 3. For that, use:
=min(date(year(B4)-1,month(B4),day($B$4)), date(year(B4)-1,1+month(B4),0))
and format as Date or a Custom date format.

Specific info: B4 shows the current mm/dd/yyyy of a file. Depending on
how
many years we have had this account we want B5 through B?? to show same
mm/dd, but prior yy in descending order.
Right now we are copying B4 & pasting in the rows below, then manually
changing the year in each cell - is there an easier to do this?
Thanks much!
