Default help with dates please

Sat, 13 Feb 2010 12:27:54 -0000 from KRK
:

hello

I have a date in A1 which is a 'start date', 01/02/10

In A2 I have the same date formatted as Mon 01/02/10 using Text(A1,"ddd
dd/mm/yy") . no problem

In A3, A4 etc I need Tue 02/02/10, Wed 03/02/10 etc etc etc. ie the dates
are incrementing by 1 day in each row.

Normally I would just add 1 to the date above, but the text formula makes
this impossible.


How so?

=Text(1+A1,"ddd dd/mm/yy")
=Text(2+A1,"ddd dd/mm/yy")

and so forth.

Or, if you want something you can click and drag,

=Text(row()-1+A1,"ddd dd/mm/yy")
