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?

Default 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

=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.
