Default calculating dates prior to a given date

If you have a date in A1 and you want another date in B1 which is 14
days earlier, then put this in B1:

=A1-14

Copy this formula down, then fix the values by selecting all those
cells with the formula in, clicking on <copy, then right-click and
Paste Special | Values (check) | OK then <Esc.

Insert a new column B, then sort column C, then delete column B.

Hope this helps.

Hi. I am trying create a spreadsheet that will have dates listed in one
column and have another column list the date 14 days prior to the first

has any help they could provide it would be much appreciated. Thank You.
