Try the following formula in cell A1

=TODAY()

and the following formula in cell B1

=A1+7

Hope this helps / Lars-Åke

Thanks that works.
Do youi know what formula I can put in other rows that will cause the firls
to stay empty until I add the current date in row 1?

I entered the formula and I get a strange number.
In A3 I have 8/1/2008 after using the formula IF(A3="","",A3+7) in B3 I get
39668 displays in the cell.

Format that number as Date

The 39668 is how Excel computes dates.

Number of days since Jan 0, 1900

See Chip Pearson's site for an explanation and how to work with those serial
numbers.
