    [Help]Auto Fill Text

    Im using Excel 2013.

    Case: If I type a date in first column, I want the second column automatically filled with a text.
    Example: If I type a date between 1/1/2014 to 1/7/2014 in first column, I want the second column filled with "First Week" automatically. If I type a date between 1/8/2014 to 1/14/2014 in first column, I want the second column filled with "Second Week" automatically.
    A (Date Formats) B (Text Formats)
    1/9/2014 Second Week
    1/1/2014 First Week

    Thank you.

    Is it safe to assume that with the passing of every week into the year you want it to also update to third week, fourth week, fifth week etc?

    I think, it is easier for me to filter my monthly data.

    well, if you point this formula to your date cell (assuming it is A2) then you at least get the week number... =weeknum(a2)
    From there i was trying to figure out how to get you to first week, second week etc based on the week number. But if you come up with a different way, post it as it might be helpful for someone else.

    Re: [Help]Auto Fill Text

    Do you think something like this will work for you?

    Formula:

    ="Week "&WEEKNUM(A1) and copy it down

    A
    B
    1
    1/9/2014
    Week 2
    2
    1/1/2014
    Week 1
