Default Copying groups of dates

I have a spreadsheet that has all these dates listed for every Friday of the
year
grouped in nines for the year 2005. Is there a way to do a fill so I can
achieve these same results for 2006? Thank You!

In a blank cell enter 364, then click <copy on this cell. Then
highlight all the dates and Edit | Paste Special | Values (check) and
Add (check), then OK and <Esc. This will move all the dates on by 1
year minus 1 day, so that the dates will still point to Fridays. You
didn't make it clear if you wanted to keep last year's sheet - if so,
just copy it into the same workbook first then perform this operation
on the copied sheet.

Hope this helps.

You're a genius Pete. Worked like a charm. Thank you very much.

Assuming that this is a schedule and will have the same entries in column B
as last year, you can do the following:

In a blank see enter 364, the copy. Select Column A and then Edit, Paste
Special and select Add. Now change the format of the cells in column A to
the date format you wish. You will need to remove the dates from the blank
rows: Use Control + H, Find the date that populates the blank rows and
Replace with nothing.

Another way:

In A1 enter the last Friday of the old year.

in A3 enter: =A1+7
in A4 enter: =A3 and copy down to A11

Highlight A3 to A11 and copy to A13, A23 etc.

Don't quite catch the sense though because the information is always
the same except for the date. If you want to mark something you could
also do this:

In A2 enter the last Friday of the old year.
In A3 to A11 enter your text data
In B2 enter: =A2+7 and copy to the right as far as you want to go.

In the intersection of a text entry on the left and a date in row 2 you
can mark something.
