    Substitution! Please guide

    Hi,
    My objective is:
    If I type "3" in cell A1 then the moment I press Enter key, "3" should be replaced by October 3 2011
    Similarly, "4" by October 4 2011 and so on.
    The problem I am facing using "Replace" and "Substitute" functions is that it is reported as "Circular Reference".
    Please tell me a way to resolve this
    Thanks a lot!
    Best regards

    Even if you were able to get a formula to work as soon as you typed a value into the cell it would overwrite it. You can have one cell to hold the value and another the formula or use VBA to achieve this.

    Use code tags when posting your VBA code: [code] Your code here [/code]

    Remember, saying thanks only takes a second or two. Click the little star to give some Rep if you think an answer deserves it.
