    macro to generate a list of dates down a column

    Hi all,

    Can anyone help me? I need a macro that can generate a list of month end dates (in date order) down a column. EG:

    Cell A1 = 31 Dec 95
    Cell A2 = 31 Jan 96
    Cell A3 = 29 Feb 96
    Cell A4 = 31 Mar 96
    etc
    etc

    The start date will always be 31 Dec 1995 while the end date needs to be dynamic and show the last month end, so it will need to grow by 1 row each month or grow by multiple rows if the macro has not been run for several months.

    Anyone got any ideas?

    Hello Aqua,

    Here is a macro that will fill in the end of month dates from the last date entered. You can choose where to start by changing the cell address in the macro (marked in blue). The macro assumes the worksheet is the active sheet. However, this can be easily changed.

    NewDates

    There are probably better ways to do this, but this works
    NB:- See notes in code for Headers.
    Change column ref to suit your needs

    More dates

    Aqua , With respect to Leith Ross I have worked through his code and it is a lot better than mine,
    However if you change the following line of code:-

    It will return the dates in the format requested on your original question.

    Apologies, Leith for messing with your code.
    Regards Mick

    Hello MickG,

    No need for an apology, it is a good addition to the code.

    Thanks,
