Formatting Cells to display Date: month/day/year
I am a newbie when it comes to Excel and after doing some searching
through threads I couldn't find the exact answer I needed so here goes: [image: http://www.geocities.com/danmann81/timesheet.jpg] The red box is the area I'm trying to format. What I want to do is set the formula for dates so that the dates update automatically without having to change them manually every pay period. I hope that make sense. Thank You Daniel --- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com/ |

The link works, just tested it. Any one else having the same problem
viewing? What I want to do is set my dates, Ex: 4/5/04 4/6/04 4/7/04 4/8/04 4/9/04 4/10/04 with a formula so that they update auto when I change say 4/5/04 instead of doing it manually each month. Daniel --- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com/ |

Enter a date in A1
In A2 enter =A1 + 1 Select A2 and drag/copy down column A The only date you have to change is the one in A1. The rest will follow.

I'm not sure I understand the problem, but the previous
reply using relative dates will work well. Do you want the first date to change automatically too? You might realte it to Month(). If Month(FirstDate) Month(Today()) _ Then . . .

Formatting Cells to display Date: month/day/year
If you view the screen shot, all I want to do is have the dates update
automatically. So if its 4/30/2004, I want it to update to 5/30/2004 if necessary. Would attaching the file help? Daniel --- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com/ |

When the dates update automatically, what value would you like them to
have? We need that in order to give you an answer. Also, I could not get the link to your screen shot to work either. Anyway, don't forget that you can put an =TODAY() function in a cell to get the spreadsheet to automatically always tell you the current day. If you want your dates to be calcualated based ont eh current date, then you can use taht cell. Also, there are MONTH(), DAY(), and YEAR() functions that you can use to read that portion of a date, such as the month portion of today: =MONTH(TODAY()) or to build a specific date, such as today's date plus a month: =DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY())+1,DAY(TODAY())) . |
