Why don't you try one of the many free templates that are available.

Try below for a start

select the cell with the date range as you have shown and run this macro:

Sub AddDates()
Dim s As String, s1 As String
Dim s2 As String, i As Long
Dim dt As Date, iloc As Long
s = ActiveCell.Value
iloc = InStr(1, s, "-", vbTextCompare)
If iloc = 0 Then Exit Sub
s1 = Trim(Left(s, iloc - 1))
s2 = Trim(Right(s, Len(s) - iloc))
i = 1
Debug.Print s1, s2
For dt = CDate(s1) To CDate(s2)
ActiveCell.Offset(i, 0) = dt
i = i + 1
Next
End Sub

No, there is no built in capability to do what you ask.

If you don't want a programming solution, then post in


microsoft.public.excel.misc
or
microsoft.public.excel.Worksheet.Functions

from Excel help on Macros:

About macros
If you perform a task repeatedly in Microsoft Excel, you can automate the
task with a macro. A macro is a series of commands and functions that are
stored in a Microsoft Visual Basic module and can be run whenever you need to
perform the task.

For example, if you often enter long text strings in cells, you can create a
macro to format those cells so that the text wraps.

Recording macros When you record a macro, Excel stores information about
each step you take as you perform a series of commands. You then run the
macro to repeat, or "play back," the commands. If you make a mistake when you
record the macro, corrections you make are also recorded. Visual Basic stores
each macro in a new module attached to a workbook.

Making a macro easy to run You can run a macro by choosing it from a list
in the Macro dialog box. To make a macro run whenever you click a particular
button or press a particular key combination, you can assign the macro to a
toolbar button, a keyboard shortcut, or a graphic object on a worksheet.

Managing your macros After you record a macro, you can view the macro
code with the Visual Basic Editor to correct errors or change what the macro
does. For example, if you wanted the text-wrapping macro to also make the
text bold, you could record another macro to make a cell bold and then copy
the instructions from that macro to the text-wrapping macro.

The Visual Basic Editor is a program designed to make writing and editing
macro code easy for beginners, and provides plenty of online Help. You don't
have to learn how to program or use the Visual Basic language to make simple
changes to your macros. With the Visual Basic Editor, you can edit macros,
copy macros from one module to another, copy macros between different
workbooks, rename the modules that store the macros, or rename the macros.

Macro security Excel provides safeguards that help protect against
viruses that can be transmitted by macros. If you share macros with others,
you can certify them with a digital signature so that other users can verify
that they are from a trustworthy source. Whenever you open a workbook that
contains macros, you can verify their source before you enable them.
