Well you didn't give much to go on but entering =TODAY() in a cell
will provide you with todays date changing for the relevant date each
day....is that what you wanted?

=c4+7
(=columnandrow+7) Put your 1st date in and when you get to the 2nd cell
=c4+7 and copy and paste special all the way down.

There a lot of ways to do this, depending on exactly what you want. It would be helpful if you provided specific examples (always!).

Suppose you put the initial date in A1, and you want the same day in each month for 12 months in A2:A13. Then put the following into A2 and copy down:

=date(year(A1),1+month(A1),day(A1))

Caveat: That might have undersired results if the day is 31, and if the day is 29 or more and you run through Feb. There are ways to handle that appropriately. But it's not worth the trouble explaining them until you clarify what you want.

FYI, advancing the date by one week is simpler. Ostensibly, =A1+7.

Automatically advancing dates in cells for each new year?
 

Hi I am a real novice with Excel but I would really appreciate some help
with what I am trying to achieve. I have lots of boxes or cells do you
call them in which i write things for each day of the year. They will
each be under each day of the week. The thing is someone did set this
up for me but for some reason it no longer works......whether its
anything to do with the fact that I have a new computor with maybe
different microsoft office 2007 I dont know. Anyway I would like to be
able to change the dates for each week by just changing the first day
and then the rest of the weeks automatically change to the year i am
dealing with ..........hope your understanding all this. I dont want to
have to go through each day of each week changing the date in the boxes.
Please can anyone help me
Thanks Alice

If you want to keep the structure use this example in the cell
*=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),7,2)* and then right click the cell Format
CellsCustom double click the word "General" in the box and paste this
in *mmmm dd yyyy dddd*

To explain:*=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),7,2)*
the* DATE *function allows your to specify the components of the date,
the *YEAR* function allows you to split a year out from a date, if we
use the TODAY function it will mean the year will always be the current
year, the rest is self explanatary 7 = july...etc

*mmmm dd yyyy dddd*
when formatting dates we can tell Excel how much or what depth each
part of the date should be shwon as so, dd mm yy would display 01 01
2009 (assuming its january 1st) using dd mmm yy would display 01 Jan
09....you get the idea!

Paste this *=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),7,2)* (then press enter)in your first
cell that has the date (change the month and day if need be) then copy
across, all the cells you copied across to should now be highlighted,
right click in the highlighted section then choose Format Cells (around
half way down under Insert Comment in excel 2007) and follow the
formatting i gave you, i could give back your workbook done for you,
however, you still won't know how its done then and will face similar
problems in the future :)

Alice, don't forget all your month sheets are the same structure so you
can edit the sheets as a whole group to save you doing them one by one!

Automatically advancing dates in cells for each new year?
 

Alice, i have changed the formula slightly and made use of cell A1, A1
now houses a number (1 - 12) this is the number of the month, if you
don't wish to see that number then right click Format CellsCustom and
in the box type ;;; the number will always be there just not visible
unless you select the cell.

See the attached (your workbook), you need to complete the pattern for
each month for the number of days in the month but it's nearly all done
for you!

trying the patience of a saint here but if you could just persevere
with me a little longer maybe , just maybe I might get the hang of
this........emb1:confused:
