    How do I create sequential dates across multiple sheets (Namely, Sept 01-30)

    How do I create sequential dates across multiple sheets (Namely, Sept 01-30)?

    I started a new job and was volun-told to make a document for my Chief of Security. I need to put dates (September) in a cell and “auto populate” (?) across the 30 worksheets (tabs) Also, I would like to do the same for the tabs themselves.
    I have followed this module code

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    And then put in this code in the cell:
    =AddSequentialDate("B1",B1)

    I hit enter and #VALUE! Pops up.

    How in the Bob Saget can I get it to work?

    Thank you, kindly,

    Scott

    The given code seems to work.

    Make sure you have placed the code into a standard code module (Insert > Module).

    Re: How do I create sequential dates across multiple sheets (Namely, Sept 01-30)

    Do i have to put date values in for "B1"? I dont know much about codes and modules, I put the code in the cell just as it said, ("B1",B1) do I need to do something like this (September 1, 2014, september 1, 2014)?

    Don't laugh at me...okay, laugh at me, this code stuff is confussing me.

    Thanks

    If you're using Excel 2013...

    Assuming you already have the 30 daily sheets and you want the monthly dates in cell A1 of each sheet.

    Select Sheet1
    Press and hold the Shift key then select Sheet30
    All sheets are now grouped

    Enter this formula in cell A1:

    =DATE(2014,9,SHEET())

    The formula will be entered on all 30 sheets

    Ungroup the sheets...
    Right click any sheet tab>Ungroup sheets

    I opened sheet 1 and entered a date in cell B1.

    Then I selected sheet2 and entered your formula exactly as you showed and it put in the NEXT date as the result.

    Got it done!! whoop whoop!

    Now if ya'll know how to do the samething with the tabs, label them Month, day, year, then without doing it one at a time. I will post this new question to a new thread as not to violate forum rules. my new thread will be "Sequential dates across tabs"

    Thanks all
