Default How do I set up a sheet with date headers one week apart.

I am trying to set up a spreadsheet with date headers and/or side labels,
one week apart.
I have tried without success. Any help gratefully received.

1/1/2006 - 8/1/2006 - 15/1/2006 etc.

Hi

Type your first date in A2. In the next cell use
= A2+7
You can fill this across as necessary.

Hi Andy,

How do I fill the remaining ones. Do I have to type in each column seperately?

If you select the cell which in which you have typed =A2+7, there will be a
little black square in the bottom right hand corner. Move your mouse over it
and it becomes a cross. You can drag this cross along the row to copy the
formula across.

Andy,

I have done this, I just get the "#VALUE" in every other cell.

A1 B1 C1 D1 etc
23.1.2006 =A1+7 #VALUE #VALUE

Using the same procedure in Open Office Calc works fine. No luck with
Excell2003

Hi

If you click in a cell with #VALUE, what does the formula bar say is the
formula in the cell. Each column should increment on the previous, so =A1+7
becomes =B2+7, which becomes =B3+7
Also, is your starting cell an Excel date? The usual way they display is
dd/mm/yyyy (for English).
It should be really easy!

Hi Frank

It sounds like your cell B1 is formatted as text, hence the formula
shows rather than the result of the formula.
Delete the entry in B1.
FormatCellsNumberGeneral
Retype =A1+7

Change the entry in A1 to 23/01/2006
