Working with Dates

I need to set up a date range from mid May 2022 to end November only showing Mondays and Friday e.g. 09/05/2022 13/05/2022 at the top of each column. Rather than having to type each date in, is there a quick way of displaying my dates?

RE: Working with Dates

Hi Carmel,

I hope you are fine and thank you for the forum question.

There is a simple solution.

Type in the first Monday date (09/05/2022) and in the next cell type the first Friday date (13/05/2022).

In the cell next to the Friday date type = and click on the cell with the first Monday date and type +7 after the cell reference (to add 7 days to the date). Press Ctrl Enter. Use the fill handle (the handle bottom right) and drag across to the right as far as you need.

I hope this makes sense.


Kind regards

Some examples of CTRL key shortcuts in Excel 2010

Did you know that the old CTRL key shortcuts haven't changed from previous versions of Excel to the 2010 version?

They remain exactly the same:

Ctrl+B for bold
Ctrl+I for italics
Ctrl+P to Print
Ctrl+S to Save
