I have a spreadsheet that has dates intact from 2004
How could I change the dates to show the same date for
2005.

Example:

Day Date Name Task
Sat 11/3/2004 Joe Bloggs Sales
Sat 18/3/2004 Ben Dunne Testing

I would like the same sheet to show in column B which
holds date, to show the Sat date exactly 1 year later 2005

If all dates are numeric dates and they are all 2004 dates, put 366 in a
cell, copy it, select all dates <= Feb 29 2004 and do
edit>paste special and select add, reformat as dates because you will
probably get a serial number. Put 365 in a cell, copy it and select all
dates >= Mar 01 2004 and repeat. Or use a help formula

=DATE(YEAR(B1)+1,MONTH(B1),DAY(B1))

copy as much as needed, select and copy and paste special as values, note
that a date like Feb 29 2004 will be
Mar 01 2005, if you want Feb 28 2005 edit that particular date or add 365
days to it

11/03/2004 was a Thursday.

How did you get Saturday?

That date exactly 1 year later will be a Friday.

Do you mean the closest Saturday or the actual weekday 1 year later?

See Peo's reply.
