I am putting together a template for our reports and need to have every date
of the year repeat itself 95 times (1 time for every 15 minutes in a day),
thenincrement to the next day. In the end column A should start at 01-jan-07
column B: 0:00:00 and repeat until 01-jan-07, 23:45:00 then start at
02-jan-07, 0:00:00. and so on until 31-dec-07, 23:45:00.

We have the times in column B already in there (from the 2006 template) but
need to convert the 2006 dates to 2007. any ideas? The person who did this
in the past is no longer with the company so I do not know how he managed it.
currently they are just straight values so it will take a long time to
switch every year to 07.

Thank you!
Daiv.

How about formatting under date as dd/3mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss
enter 1/1/07 00:00:00, then 1/1/07 00:15:00, then drag down?

In A1:
2-jan-2006 (if that is your date format)
In A2:
=A1+(1/24/4)
Format as date including time, fill down as far as you need. It will increase dates (even years, in Excel2007) when needed
automatically

That tries to show the time as well in that cell which we don't want.
Otherwise, it did seem to increment the dates like I wanted. How can i use
that and not have it show the time?

Once you have it all filled out, highlight the column again and format as
dd/mm/yyyy

I after thought to use your technique and then reformat the cells after to
the Date only format and it worked great. thanks!
