Dates

Hi, I'm using 'Dates' tab from excel that was provided during the course, however it goes back to 2008. Would you please be able to advise how can I start from the beginning of 2025, instead of going that far back?
I know how to expand the dates to the future ones, but struggling to figure out how to cut out the past dates that are not needed, but taking up the space.
Thank you!

RE: Dates

Hi Patrycja,

Thank you for the forum question.

In the date table select B2 (in the dates column). Type 01/01/2025. Put your mouse course on top of the handle bottom right and when you get a black + click and drag the handle down as far as you would like dates. Delete the rows under the row you dragged down the date to.

All the Excel formulas across the columns will update.




Kind regards
