    Days cars are at garage + 1 incremental

    Good Morning all,

    I have inherited a spreadsheet for the company I have started working for. They have a list of vehicles on the forecourt that are available to sell. Each vehicle is obviously there for different amount of days. Every day I have to add +1 to each day a vehicle is there. It is tedious and time consuming and I am trying to work a formula to add a day to each vehicle and update it everyday. These vehicles are listed in year order so I cannot change that side of it.

    Any help on this would be appreciated. I have attached a print screen of the spreadsheet and the cell in red is the one I need to add a day to every day.

    Thanks so much.

    Which column do are you updating?
    Do you have a column for the date the car was placed on the forecourt?

    I'm not sure how you've done it so far, but an easy non-automatic solution would be using a formula =M4+1, double click the corner or drag down, then copy/paste the values. I'll give it some more thought.

    Enter 1 in an empty cell. Click copy.

    Select the numbers in your 'Stock' column, to be incremented.
    Click Paste > Paste Special:
    Paste: Values
    Operation: Add
    OK

    Done.
    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    Do you know the start date?

    If you do, you can use this formula: =DAYS360(M4;TODAY())

    Happy to help.

    It would of course be more efficient to have a "Start Date" column, to record the date the car entered your forecourt. Then you could use a simple formula to automatically keep the days on forecourt updated. For example, if your start date was in Column X, then in row 3 you could use:
