Default Auto filling dates

I have a spreadsheet that has the date in Column B. It starts off in
Cell 15 as 1/4/09, Cell 16 is 1/5/09 . . . Cell 21 is 1/10, Cell 22 is
blank, and Cell 23 starts the week over (1/11.) As you can see, I have
7 Cells with dates, then a blank cell.

1/4/09
1/5/09
1/6/09
1/709
1/8/09
1/9/09
1/10/09
BLANK
1/11/09
etc

The way I've been entering the information so far is by hand. If I
didn't have a blank cell I know I could enter a couple of dates and
then click and drag to complete the year, but because of the blank
cell I don't know if I can automate the task or not. Can I?

Thank you.

Chip

Default Auto filling dates

You could enter them all the way you mention and insert blank rows later
or
How about a VBA subroutine to do the whole job? Would that interest you?
best wishes

I don't know anything about VBA; I've only know what it stands for.
