I am updating this years schedule spreadsheet to next years. Since the
"scheduled" date is the same from one year to the next I only need to change
the year from 2005 to 2006. Is there a way I can do this for all of the
cells in a column?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Since neither is a leap year, you just need to advance 365 days. So type 365
in some random cell and copy. Then select all your date cells and Edit
Paste Special, select the 'add' radio button and click OK.

Use a dummy column with the formula
=DATE(2006,MONTH(A1),DAY(A1))
Once you have the whole column filled in, copy and paste special, and select
values. Then delete the dummy collum.

You could also use
=A1+365
but you would lose a day every leap year (not until 2008 I think).

Very easy:


1. Highlight the cells you want to change
2. Pull-down:
Edit Find 2005 in the findwhat field
2006 in the replacefield and click replace all

Why not put the year in a cell, and then just build the scheduled dates from
that cell, something like

=DATE(M1,11,1)

etc.

Then only one cell to change each year.

Thank you. I knew there had to be an easier way.
