Comments on: How to create a sequence of dates in Excel and auto fill date series

Until recently, there has been just one easy way to generate dates in Excel - the AutoFill feature. The introduction of the new dynamic array SEQUENCE function has made it possible to make a series of dates with a formula too. This tutorial takes an in-depth look at both methods so that you can choose the one that works best for you. Continue reading →

  1. I need to make a list of 2 columns, first column starts with 9/17/23, and goes for 1 year, but each date is 6 weeks apart. I see how I can do it daily, monthly, etc, but not 6 weeks Thanks

  2. Hi there,

    Do you know how I would go about creating dates for a 4 on and 4 off shift pattern?

    For example:
    Start Date 28/07/2023

    28/07/2023
    29/07/2023
    30/07/2023
    31/07/2023
    05/08/2023
    06/08/2023
    07/08/2023
    08/08/2023
    13/08/2023
    14/08/2023
    15/08/2023
    16/08/2023

    Hope this makes sense!

    Any help would be much appreciated :)

  3. Hi

    I'm trying to create a registers using excel where the class is only seen 2 days a week
    For example I would like it to read

    Monday 04/09/2023
    Wednesday 06/09/2023
    Monday 11/09/2023
    Wednesday 13/09/2023

    etc
    Is this possible?

  4. I am trying to create a series of dates which I want to sort into a larger collection of dates.
    Surely there is a simple way to do this!

    It appears if I use the SEQUENCE formula to create the list that I am not able to sort this list.
    When I do a right click on the Fill handle of a cell that has a date from which I wish to create a date list, I am not able to select any options - they are all greyed out.
    It used to be that you could start a date list with a minimum of three dates and then use the Fill handle to extend the list into the future but now all that seems to happen when I do this is a replication of the dates in the list, not a continuation of the list.

    Any other suggestions?

  5. I'm trying to fill a sequence for the end of every quarter starting on 9-23:
    09-23
    12-23
    03-24
    06-24
    09-24
    12-24
    03-25...

    1. Hi! Use the EOMONTH function to create a sequence of dates with an interval of 3 months. Use the TEXT function to get these dates in the format "mm-yyy".
      Check the formula below, it should work for you:

      =TEXT(EOMONTH(DATE(2023,9,1),SEQUENCE(20,,3,3)-3),"mm-yy")

    I have 10000 data in one column, and I need name in one column and in other dates mentioned underneath

    1. Based on your description, it is hard to completely understand your task. If you want to transform your data into 3 columns, I don't think it is possible. Your data does not have the same pattern (two dates and one date).

  7. Hi. How can I create a sequence of dates of workdays like Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Monday to Friday. I want the formula to give me the dates of a month for Monday Wednesday Friday each week. For example for August 2023, I want the formula to give me the below dates; 2nd, 4th,7th,9th,11th,14th,16th,18th,21th,23th,25th,28th,30th.
    Is it poosibe to get that data with excel?

    1. Hi! To create a sequence of working days, try using the WORKDAY.INTL function.
      Use argument "Weekend string", as described in this article.

      =WORKDAY.INTL(A1,1,"0101011")
      A1 - start date (1 Aug 2023)
      Try to enter the following formula in cell A2 and then copy it down along the column.

  8. Two dates in excel cell like 12-01-2005 & 15-02-2008
    we want in another cells as result 31-03-2005,30-06-2005,30-09-2005,31-12-2005,31-03-2006,30-06-2006,30-09-2006,31-12-2006,31-03-2007,30-06-2007,30-09-2007,31-12-2007,29-02-2008,
    How we can do with macro.

  9. I have a table with a calendar that I want to populate with a 'check mark' on specific days in a sequence. Essentially I want to take a start date for a task and a frequency for said task, and have it put a check mark on the dates at regular intervals. Is there a simple formula that would generate a sequence for me?

    1. As we have written many times on this blog, a formula cannot change the value in another cell. Use VBA.

  10. I'm trying to repeat a sequence after every 21 rows, like first 21 rows have "7" then next 21 rows will have "8" again next 21 rows will have "9" and this will continue. how this can be achieved.

  11. I'm trying to repeat a date sequence after every 7 rows, like first 7 rows have date 6-8-23 then next 7 rows will have 7-8-23 and this will continue. how this can be achieved.

    1. Hi! To create a sequence with repeating values, use the CEILING function together with SEQUENCE. Add these values to the start date. Try this formula:

      =CEILING(SEQUENCE(49,1,1,1)/7,1)+DATE(2023,8,5)

  12. Hi
    I have a financial year calendar of July 2023 to June 2024 (07/01/23 - 06/30/24) and I need to sequentially create a 52 week calendar in excel, which will be Monday to Sunday, as follows:
    07/01/23 - 07/02/23
    07/03/23 - 07/09/23
    07/10/23 - 07/16/23
    07/17/23 - 07/23/23
    07/24/23 - 07/30/23
    so on and and so forth. Can you please help formulate the same?

    Thanks in advance!

    1. Hi! Your request goes beyond the advice we provide on this blog. This is a complex solution that cannot be found with a single formula. If you have a specific question about the operation of a function or formula, I will try to answer it.

  13. I need to make sequence like this as given below, Please help me on this

    01 - 01/07/2023 00:00
    01 - 01/07/2023 00:10
    .
    .

  14. hi would like to insertb6 empty cells after each week.

  15. Hi,
    I have data which has been recorded every 15 minutes from between 4/1/2020-27/4/2020.
    I need to code it using R so require the layout of this spreadsheet to require 2 separate columns of date and time.
    I have added the time column but I need the date to essentially remain the same for each 24 hour period and increase by 1.
    e.g.
    4/1/2020 | 00:00:00
    4/1/2020 | 00:15:00
    4/1/2020 | 00:30:00
    ...
    ...
    ...
    4/1/2020 | 23:45:00
    5/1/2020 | 00:00:00
    5/1/2020 | 00:15:00

    and so on

    Could you help with this?
    Thanks

      1. That works perfectly - thank you!

  16. I am hoping to create a excel spreadsheet that has the days of the month populate across column 5 and change monthly based on the number of days in that month I also would like to highlight every row that is a sunday hoping I can get assistance with this

    1. Hi! If I got you right, the formula below will help you with your task:

      =EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1) + SEQUENCE(DAY(EOMONTH(TODAY(),0)),1,1,1)

      You can learn more about EOMONTH function in Excel in this article on our blog

  17. Hello, I am currently working on my study plan, and willing to share it to my friends. I would like to be able to auto change the date of each topic based on the individual's chosen number of study sessions per day.

    For example:

    In cell A1, there is an option to choose the numbers: 1 or 2 or 3 - study sessions per day.

    If I choose 1 session per day this is what the column looks like:

    column B
    July 5, 2023
    July 6, 2023
    July 7, 2023
    and so on

    For 2 sessions per day

    same column B
    July 5, 2023
    July 5, 2023
    July 6, 2023
    July 6, 2023

    Again, I would like to be able to auto sequence change the whole column based on the chosen session in cell A1.

    Thank you, I really appreciate your help! Good day!

    1. Hi! If I understand your task correctly, the following formula should work for you:

      =B1+CEILING(SEQUENCE(30,1,1,1)/A1,1)

      B1 - start date

  18. I'm looking for a way, starting from 1/1/23, to have excel pull dates through the rest of the year in the following pattern: 2,3,6,7,8,11,12 (these numbers come from a 1-14 or two week interval). So for example it would return:
    2- 1/2/23
    3- 1/3/23
    6- 1/6/23
    7- 1/7/23
    8- 1/8/23
    11- 1/11/23
    12- 1/12/23
    2- 1/16/23
    3- 1/17/23
    6- 1/20/23
    7- 1/21/23
    8- 1/22/23
    11- 1/25/23
    12- 1/26/23
    2- 1/30/23
    3- 1/31/23

    1. Hi! Unfortunately, I don't see any logical sequence in your numbers that can be written as a formula. If you see logic in these numbers, tell me.

  19. I've tryed to use the sequence creatio formula =WORKDAY(B2-1, SEQUENCE(B1)) and it works fine but I can't the column generenated within a vlookup array it simple doesn't read it as dates

    1. Hi! If cell B2 contains the date, check what value you are searching for with VLOOKUP. It may be a text.

  20. Hi. I am scouring the internet trying to find a way to store ranges of dates in excel, that automatically adjust based on the current month. So I have a list of events, and each event runs from X day to Y day. Some go into the following month. For example, Event A runs from the 12th of the month to the 08th of the following month. Is there a formula that will automatically update this for me based on today's date, in excel?

  21. if i put a date in a cell, and if the date a sunday i have to display and "S" with the date in same cell

    1. Hi! You can only add a character to a cell with a date by using a VBA macro. And then you will get text in the cell, not the date. To show the day of the week, use a custom date format. For example: ddd, mmmm dd, yyyy

  22. I am wanting to have the next date at the top and the last date at the bottom. Can anyone help please

    1. Hi! If you want to get a descending sequence of dates from a future date to a past date, use a negative number in the [step] argument of the SEQUENCE function. For example,
      =SEQUENCE(10, 1, "8/1/2020", -1)
      Hope this is what you need.

  23. Greetings,
    My issue is probably going to be easy and I just am over looking how. I am trying to create a month long series of
    workbook pages with page 1 being the "1st" next "2nd" etc.
    Id like the entire date (mm/dd/yy) for each page to be in C1 of every page auto advancing. What am I missing to do so?
    Thank you in advance.

  24. Hi,
    I might have missed it, but I am trying to create a list of dates that starts on the 1/1/2023 and ends today, and that updates the "today" avery time the spreadsheet is open (ie incrementally adds the days as the year goes by). Is that possible?

    1. Hi! Determine the number of the day in the current year and create a sequence of dates as described in the article above
      If I got you right, the formula below will help you with your task:

      =SEQUENCE(TODAY()-EOMONTH(TODAY(),-MONTH(TODAY())),1,EOMONTH(TODAY(),-MONTH(TODAY()))+1,1)

      1. Thank you it worked great! I am not sure I understand the logic behind this sequence but I'll keep trying :)

  25. I am trying to create a column sequence of dates by day among a few years. However, whenever I use the fill function to lets say pass from November 30th to the 1st of December, it automatically starts December with the 3rd and not the first. For instance:

    11/22/2007
    11/23/2007
    11/24/2007
    11/25/2007
    11/26/2007
    11/27/2007
    11/28/2007
    11/29/2007
    11/30/2007
    12/3/2007

    Note how the last one started form the 3rd

    1. Hi! Unfortunately, it was not successful to reproduce your problem. Try using formulas to create a sequence of dates. There is all the information you need above in this article.

  26. Hi there,
    I would like to create a series of dates on columns across the top of a spreadsheet as they are reading infro from different tabs.

    e.g,
    3 Apr 23 3 Apr 23 3 Apr 23 10 Apr 23 10 Apr 23 10 Apr 23 17 Apr 23 17 Apr 23 17 Apr 23 and so on

    Therefore repeating the date 3 times across the top then going up by one week and repeating the same pattern I hop that makes sense

    Thanks in advance for your help.

  27. Hello sir,
    I need your help regarding daily attendance sheet monthly report .for example if "Friday" is weekend day and there are 4 or 5 "Friday" in a month. with daily attendance entry when ever Friday come automatically count as a payable day in salary with daily present and absent for salary calculation.
    in my excel sheet I have a problem there are 4 "Friday" in a month and when I enter even 1 " PRESENT" automatically 4 "Fridays" count as a payable day and result comes 5 day salary.
    I'm using this formula (AN14= daily presents)

    =IF(AN14=0,0,COUNTIF($F$8:$AJ$8,"Fri")+AN14)

    1. Hi! Unfortunately, this information is not enough to recommend a formula to you. Please provide me with an example of the source data and the expected result.

      1. Hi sir,
        For salary calculation i have to use formulas to separate days .. if any employee who works 27 days (30 days a month) means i have to give full salary and if that employee worked 28 days means i have to give full salary +1 day salary ... as like for 30 -3 days .. so which one is suited

        1. Hi! I am not sure I fully understand what you mean. This information is not enough to recommend a formula to you.

  28. I am needing help with a formula that would allow me to have the same date in 'x' amount of rows (for this example lets say 5 rows) and then it changes to the next day for the next 5 rows and so on and so forth. With that being said, I want to only include weekdays (Monday - Friday) as well as any company holidays I may have (Example: July 4th).

    Example:
    6/30/2023
    6/30/2023
    6/30/2023
    6/30/2023
    6/30/2023
    *Skips Weekend*
    7/3/2023
    7/3/2023
    7/3/2023
    7/3/2023
    7/3/2023
    *Skips 7/4 Holiday*
    7/4/2023
    7/4/2023
    7/4/2023
    7/4/2023
    7/4/2023

    Continued until 11/1/2023. And if I needed to include additional company holidays besides the one I provided, how would I include that in the formula?

    Appreciate the help!

  29. How to create excel table to auto fill the dates in one column with the month and Year given in a cell as input and how to high light the weekend days

    Example

    Month and Year 03/2023

    Dates
    01
    02
    03
    04
    05
    06
    07

      1. I want to know is it possible to autofill date in a column of particular month, when the month is provided by the user.

        1. Hi!
          All the necessary information is in the article above.
          The formula below will do the trick for you:

          =DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),M1,SEQUENCE(DAY(EOMONTH(DATE(2023,M1,1),0))))

          The DAY and EOMONTH functions help you get the number of days in a month.

  30. Hi! I'm hoping to get some help if possible- I'm trying to create a daily attendance log with the date at the top right corner(dddd, mmmm dd. yyyy) that auto-updates to the next workday on print?? Is this even possible? Specifically: cell is currently set to Monday, April 03, 2023, and on Print it would auto-update to Tuesday, April 04, 2023, and so on for the month.

    Maybe I'm looking for a function that doesn't exist, but it'd sure be nice to be able to go CTRL+P at 30 "copies" and have them all automatically be from Monday-Friday for the month, instead of having to type the date in for each day.

  31. How can i have a fixed date in a cell change every 28 days within that same cell.

    Example Cell A1 '12/02/23' change to '12/03/23' on that date. Then again change to '09/04/23' on that date, and so on.

    Thanks in advance

  32. Hi, I am trying to get a formula where i can write the date in one cell then have cells three rows below auto populate the week entirely.

  33. I am trying for Date Sequence With regular interval of blank five columns but Not Working Any Suggestions ?

        March 2, 2023

        March 3,2023

        March 4,2023

        in this way i am trying to do if any thing possible ?

        1. Hi!
          If I understand correctly, write the date in the first cell. Select that cell and the empty cell below it. Hover the mouse cursor over a small square at the lower right-hand corner of the selected range. Hold and drag the fill handle down the column.

  34. Hello,

    can anyone help me with a formula for the following:

    Tuesday, February 28, 2023 AM
    Tuesday, February 28, 2023 PM

    1. Hello!
      Write in the first cell the starting date and time, for example, 1.03.2023 01:00:00 In the next cell add to this value 0.5: A1+0.5 Copy down the column. Use a custom date format
      dddd, mmmm dd, yyyy AM/PM
      I hope my advice will help you solve your task.

  35. I am trying to produce a spreadsheet with a month per sheet for the financial year, each sheet having headers for week commencing with Monday dates. I want to be able to enter the first Monday of the financial year and all the dates automatically enter into the headers. Initial this seemed simple enough with a cell+7 formula. However, as I want to be able to use this same spreadsheet template year after year, this does not allow for the fact that some years a month may have four Mondays, but five Monday a subsequent year. I worked out a formula to only enter a date in the final column if it was before the 1st of the following month, however this only seems to work if there is a year in the date, meaning I would have to change the formulas each financial year (which I don't want to have to do, just change the date of the first Monday). Is there a way to do this?

    1. Hi!
      Sorry, it's not quite clear what you are trying to achieve. Give an example of the sequence of dates you want to get.

  36. Till now, the autofill of sequential dates has worked, but suddenly it doesn't anymore. Is there a setting or something that blocks the autofill feature?

    1. Yes I have the same issue since a couple of weeks, haven been searching everywhere. It's NOT the options as you read everywhere... but no autofill anymore for numbers and dates, I presume since one of the recent updates ?

  37. I want to fill a row with the days of week. Cell 1 1/1/2023-1/7/2023 then rack cell on row after that the next calendar week... 1/8/2023-1/14/2023,1/15/2023-1/21/2023, etc

    1. Michelle,

      I'm looking to do something similar but couldn't accomplish using the options described here. Were you successful? Thanks!

    2. Hi!
      Have you tried the ways described in this blog post? If they don’t work for you, then please describe your task in detail, I’ll try to suggest a solution.

  38. I would like to know the steps to create Date sequence horizontally excluding the weekends ( Saturday and Sunday )

  39. I was curious if someone knew how to make a date sequence formula skipping five rows and continuing the sequence? I am trying to make a calendar with four cells for each day to input data.

  40. Is there a way to type in a start date (example: 1/2/23) and an end date (example: 1/24/23) and have excel automatically fill in the dates between the start/end in rows below? This is for a time sheet with variable time periods, where I'd like the employees to be able to enter in the start/end dates of the time period, but not have to write in each date, or have to click and drag down the column using the "B2+1" formula. Basically is it possible for excel to expand dates in "1/2/23" format, from a start and end date, that is a variable length of time (not each time period is the same number of days long). Thanks so much!

    1. Hi!
      All the necessary information is in the article above.
      D1- start date. D2 - end date. Try this formula:

      =SEQUENCE(D2-D1+1,1,D1,1)

  42. Hi Guys,

    Would anyone know how to autofill date on every let's say 50th row? So if I have 19/12/2022 in A1 and want to autofill 20/12/2022 in A50. Is there an easy way of doing this? I know you can drag the date down with a mouse and select a row on which you want to autofill the next day but I would have to do it 365 times.

    Any feedback much appreciated.

    Thank you.

    1. Hello!
      Create a start date using the DATE function and add a sequence of numbers. If I understand your task correctly, try the following formula:

      =DATE(2022,12,19) + CEILING(SEQUENCE(365,1,1,1)/49,1)-1

  43. So I have a set of dates for Mondays.

    Is it possible to change / update the first cell sequentially like every 4 weeks?

    For example:

    Mon, 21 Nov 22
    Mon, 28 Nov 22 (+7)
    Mon, 5 Dec 22 (+14)
    Mon, 12 Dec 22 (+21)

    I'm trying to automatically change Mon, 21 Nov 22 every 28 days

      1. Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear. To give context, I'm using =Today()-Weekday(Today())+2 to determine the Monday for the current week.

        So for this week it is Mon, 21 Nov 22

        I'm trying to auto update this cell because a cycle takes 4 weeks or 28 days to renew. If I leave it as is, the date will update weekly and that will mess with the assignments for the other set dates since the cycle hasn't been completed.

        Assume A,B,C,D are people. Each week there are tasks assigned only for column 1 (they mentor a specific team member in column B).

        A,B,C - D - Mon, 21 Nov 22
        A,B,D - C - Mon, 28 Nov 22
        A,C,D - B - Mon, 5 Dec 22
        B,C,D - A - Mon, 12 Dec 22

        I hope this makes sense, if its not possible it's fine. Was worth asking / trying. Thanks

          1. Basically auto update a date every 28 days.

  44. I need to create a sequence for attendance period from 26th of current month to 25th of subsequent month. I am mentioning from date in cell "A2", then providing equation in cell "B5" as "=A2" and setting custom format to "DD". Cell "C5" to "AF5" equation is set "+1". Let's say A2 is 26/10/2022, hence B5 is 26 and AF5 is 25. if I change date in A2 to 26/11/2022, AF5 will be 26 in this case. Since it crosses attendance period of 25th, AF5 should become blank. Please guide what excel formula will help this scenario.

  45. Hello
    I would like to know how I can create a formula with a sequence of 4 days in and 4 days out, including weekends. Thank you

    1. Hi!
      If I got you right, the formula below will help you with your task:

      =WORKDAY(A1-1, TRUNC(MOD((SEQUENCE(100,1,1,1)-1)/1,4)+1) + (CEILING(SEQUENCE(100,1,1,1)/2,2)-2)*4)

  46. Hello!

    If you can help me, please. I have to generate for every month a sheet with 19-25 (25 week days and 19 in weekends) intervals per every day, from half to half a hour, start from 8:00 AM and end at 8:00 PM in week days and in weekend start from 9:00 AM and end at 6:00 PM.

    EX: 10/9/22 is Friday and 10/10/2022 is Saturday
    10/9/2022 12:00 PM
    10/9/2022 12:30 PM

    I hope it's posibile :(
    Thank you verry much!

    1. Hi! :)

      I've tyried something, that works, but not completly well. I cant SEQUENCE the SEQUENCE :)) (if it's posible). If i modify the start date all is good, but i need to populate the sheet with all days :(, not one by one.

      My formula " =IF(WEEKDAY(R1,2)<6,SEQUENCE(25,1,DATE(YEAR(R1), MONTH(R1), DAY(R1)),0)+SEQUENCE(25,1,TIME(8,0,0),1/48),SEQUENCE(19,1,DATE(YEAR(R1), MONTH(R1), DAY(R1)),0)+SEQUENCE(19,1,TIME(9,0,0),1/48)) "

      in R1 is the date 10/1/2022

      Thank you.

        1. Hey!

          Sorry for that :))..
          Short story. On A colomn I need to generate for every weekday a set of 25 interval per day (until the end of the world :)) ).

          Like example, for day 3 Aug 2022 (weekday,25 intervals 8AM-8PM):
          10/3/2022 8:00 AM
          10/3/2022 8:30 AM
          10/3/2022 9:00 AM
          10/3/2022 9:30 AM
          10/3/2022 10:00 AM
          10/3/2022 10:30 AM

          ...same pattern for 4,5,6,7,8 Aug...
          ....then at 9 and 10 Aug when is weekend i need to generate only 19 intervals (from 9AM to 6PM)
          10/9/2022 9:00 AM
          10/9/2022 9:30 AM

          10/9/2022 6:00 PM
          ...then for 10 Aug...
          ..then 11 Aug...
          untill the end of time :D

          Thank you.

          1. If you can, in a new excel put this on A1: =IF(WEEKDAY(R1,2)<6,SEQUENCE(25,1,DATE(YEAR(R1), MONTH(R1), DAY(R1)),0)+SEQUENCE(25,1,TIME(8,0,0),1/48),SEQUENCE(19,1,DATE(YEAR(R1), MONTH(R1), DAY(R1)),0)+SEQUENCE(19,1,TIME(9,0,0),1/48))

            And the date in R1 (format m/dd/yyyy)

            This will populate A1 to A25 or A19(depend if is weekday or weekend), but i need this to the down end of the colomn A, for each day :D. Practicaly i need to sequence the sequence :))....

            Sorry for bother.

  47. Hi, i wanna ask if a database as > | 28-Apr-22 | 29-Apr22| 2 | = |[from date]|[to date]|[number of day]|, can we seperate the date into 2 database in excel?

  48. what i do for get sequence of two numbers
    exp.
    1-2
    3-4
    5-6
    7-8

  49. Hello! I was wondering if you would be able to help me with a date sequence question. I have also read your sequence post and was not able to find the answer.

    I am trying to use a filter function (FILTER(B:B,(B:B>=$L$2)*(B:B<=$M$2),"No data")) that tells me dates I have within a set of data. The problem I am having is that I did not write every date (there are too many) so I wrote the start and end date like the following:
    C D
    Saturday, December 1, 2018 Friday, March 1, 2019
    Monday, March 4, 2019 Friday, March 8, 2019
    Monday, March 11, 2019 Friday, March 15, 2019
    Monday, March 18, 2019 Friday, March 22, 2019
    Monday, March 25, 2019 Tuesday, March 26, 2019
    Sunday, April 14, 2019 Thursday, May 30, 2019
    Saturday, June 1, 2019 Tuesday, March 31, 2020

    (This is in date format, not text)
    I wanted it to recognize that these are ranges so that I can execute the FILTER function as planned.
    I tried creating a sequence function (C2+SEQUENCE(1+D2-C2,,0)) but cannot drag it for the rest of the rows because of a spill error.

    I was wondering if you would be able to provide me with a sequence function I can use that will allow me to infinitely sequence the dates within the range in a single column for each row without the spill error, or if you can help me figure out another way to do a filter function for dates when you only have the the start/end date of ranges.

    Thank you!

    1. Hello!
      It's not clear from your description what conditions you want to use in FILTER function. What is written in L2 and M2? An example of your data is the C and D columns, which are not in the formula. Your question is not entirely clear, please specify.

  50. I am creating a workbook and my raw data tab has numerous groups names that I need to assign the same DOW. I then want the same number of cells for the next DOW. How can I auto generate this without having to copy and paste.
