Dates and Intervals
Hi this is the first time I've used this forum so I'm hoping someone can help. Here's the problem I'm working on a Spreadsheet that needs to generate variable intervals in dates between 2 variable dates (confused, so am I). The dates are the start and finish dates for college courses, so theses change depending on the course. The variable intervals are the finish dates for each module within the course so if a student has a start date of 25/05/06 and a finish date of 25/05/07 and they have 5 modules to complete, the dates generated should be 06/08/06, 18/10/06, 30/12/06, 13/03/07 and 25/05/07. If the student has 4 module to complete the dates generated should be 24/08/06, 23/11/06, 22/02/07 and 24/05/07 and so on. What if any formula can be used that will do this????? Any ideas greatly appreciated please see attached image.

Hi
If we presume the course is always a year (365 days) it would appear to be a case of dividing this by the number of modules - according to your dates. With the start date in A2 and the number of modules in B2, try this formula in C2: =A2+(365/B2) This will give you the first date. In C3 down you can simply use =C2+(365/$B$2) and fill this down. Format your cells as dates. Hope this helps. Andy. "Dave_Lee" wrote in message ... Hi this is the first time I've used this forum so I'm hoping someone can help.

Hi Ardus.
You have obviously been able to see the spreadsheet - but I cant. Do I need to be a member of ExcelForum? Thanks. Andy. "Ardus Petus" wrote in message ...

I'm using OE and there isn't an Open Thread option to click on! If I click
on the link, it opens the site but says it is an invalid attachment - and to contact the site administrator.
