Subject: Re: Creating column of dates in Word 2013. Ok, got it!

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? From: Dale Alton [<mailto:[email protected]>mailto:[email protected]]

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.

Subject: Creating column of dates in Word 2013

Hi All,

Posting this for someone else hoping someone can help him:

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