Never mind my last email, I got it. I had to widen the columns. I felt stupid 
after writing that last message.

What I am trying to do which is why I poked my head in this thread to begin 
with is do a time sheet for work but not have to manually type the dang date 
each day which isn’t hard when I can just hit CTRL semicolon. 

But, now I need to figure out how to have it ignore the weekend, which I think 
I just need to set it to week days. Lets try that.

Don't change the step value.  Let it remain at 1 in step 6.

I will try it again, but I will write as I am doing it.

 

1. Launch excel

2.  For A1, through a4, I will put ¼, 1/5, 1/6 and 1/7.

3. I will select A1 through a4 and evoke the keytip alt h f I s.

4.  I am in the series dialog, so let me review what is selected in the radio 
buttons.

5.  Collumns, date and day.

6.  Where I thought it said start value, it actually says step value. I have 
terrible hearing, sorry.  I put 1/4 there and put no stop value..  The trend 
checkbox is unchecked and I tab to ok and press spacebar.

Now, you would think in a5, it should say 1/8 right? It doesn’t say nothing.

What do you put for the start value.

The only thing I don't do is put in an endvalue.  I select the columns or rows 
that I need to get the desired effect and then run the fill, i.e. a1:a31 or 
a1:ae31.  hth

I tried that last night putting ¼ in A1, 1/5 in a2, and finished at a4.

 

Then I selected the rows with the dates I just wrote, did alt h f I s and it 
put me in the start value, which I put 1 to increase by 1 day, then the stop 
value, I put 30, for 30 days. Nothing happened. Did I do it wrong? Or something 
wrong?

Hi,

This is how I would do it.

 

Start 3 in a row for example 1/1/201, 1/8/2016, and 1/15/2016.  Then highlight 
the number of rows or columns that you want the series to go on.  For example 
a1:a52.  Once that is done do an alt+h, f, I, s.  This will put you into the 
fill area and into series.  When I tested it the information was already there 
for every 7 days and I tabbed down to ok.  I hope this helps.

Hi All,

 

Posting this for someone else hoping someone can help him:

 

From: Danney Yates <mailto:[email protected]>

Trying to create a running column  of dates edit; typed in Friday 
January 1, 2016 and hit enter, hoping that Word would just insert the 
next date, etc but it will not.  I've searched menus and cannot locate a 
way to do this.
Isn't this possible, rather than my having to type all these dates manually?
Thanks for any help !
Danney Yates
