I have to keep a weekly note of my weight and use a spreadsheet to do so. But I need to add the date manually. I assume there is some way just to add a date in the top row and it will infill in the rows below a progression of weekly dates? I am not sure that I have explained what I meant very well so any questions please ask.
Under your date cell (which we'll assume is cell A1), type =A1+7, then use the fill handle to drag this formula down as far as you want. To use the fill handle position your mouse in the bottom right of a cell until the cursor becomes a cross, drag downwards and release the button when you've reached your destination.
Nick tried that but I could not figure out what the fill handle is/means. Just consider me an Excel idiot and lead me please. EDIT. REP Nick. Much thanks Got it.
Once the formula has been entered, move the cursor the the bottom right hand side of the cell - it will then change to a plus symbol - left click and drag to the cells bellow. That will copy the formula to those dells.
