    Excel: How do I enter a date in one cell & automatically dates adj

    In excel, I am trying to find a formula or funtion so that when I enter a
    date (1/10/05) in cell A1 for example, then B1 automatically changes to
    1/11/05, C1 to 1/12/05, etc. Can anyone help? Thanks!!

    In cell B1 your formula is
    =A1+1

    That will advance the date by one day. Copy that formula across, and
    you're good to go.

    Hi Dave O, Thank you so much! Here's another question that has developed
    after I entered that formula. Before I have a date in A1, B1 states
    "1/1/1900", C1 states "1/2/1900"; but it works perfectly once I enter a date
    in A1. I'm trying to create a timesheet template and don't want 1/1/1900 etc
    to be confusing. Is there a way that until I have a date in A1, nothing will
    show up in B1, C1, etc.? Thanks again. -Shannon

    In B1 enter =IF($A$1="","",A1 + 1)

    Drag/copy across row 1
