Are you sure it's not increasing by 1 day + 4 years?

That behavior happens when you copy from a workbook using the 1900 date
system and paste into a workbook using the 1904 date system.

If it's really only one day, I've no idea...

What do you mean by drag and drop, if you mean you are dragging a date using
the mouse
and autofill? If you don't want it to increase by a day hold down ctrl while
copying.

Right-click and drag.

Release the button and "Copy cells"
