Help with Dates in Excel

[John]

I am looking to make a spreadsheet for an entire month. I know there is a
formula to automaticaly insert the dates into column A for an entire month.
Could some one help me remember this please!!

hi
there is not a formula that will automaticaly insert the dates into column A
for an entire month. a macro might do this but formulas return values to the
cell in which they reside. they can not perform actions like "automaticaly
insert the dates into column A for an entire month". sorry.
but you can use formulas to do this.
in cell A1, enter the first day of the month.
in cell A2, enter this formula...=A1+1
copy cell A2 and copy down as far as needed.

No formula needed.

Just enter the first date in a cell then drag copy down as needed.

hi john,
there is no formula dates. All you have to do is type in the date into the
cell and drag the the value to the other cells. What I usually do is if you
want a standard calendar Sunday through Saturday you type in the first day of
the month you want in cell A1. You then drag the value to G1. You set the
value of A2 to equal G1 + 1 and then drag again. You continue the process
until the month is done.
