Default Create a formula to fill in a date series without using

I have a column that is just a series of dates. I want this column to
automatically fill in according to the first date entered in the column. It
needs progress one month at a time.

What do you want to use?

When do you want the new date to appear?

assume your date is in B1

in B2, put in

=DateSerial(Year(B1),Month(B1)+1,1)

then drag fill down the column - assume you don't mind filling the formula.

Putting all the information in the body of your email makes it easier to
understand what you want.
