Days & dates

Can excel autofill days and dates?

RE: days & dates

Hi Dulce

Thank you for your question

Excel can indeed autofill both days and dates. If you type in a day and copy dow it will automatically fil in the following days. Similaly if you type in a date and copy down it will increment on a daily basis.

Another option is to format the date so that it also contains the day. So if you select the range to format and then click on Format-Cells select the number tab and then select custom from the category list, you can then set the format by typing

DDDD DD/MM/YYYY

into the box headed type on the right hand side of the dialog box

Regards

Shortcuts for working with named ranges in Excel

If you are working with or creating named ranges in your spreadsheets, then you may find the following shortcut keys useful.

- Bring up the Define Names dialogue box on screen by using Ctrl + F3 (instead of going to Insert - Names).

- Create Names from labels you have entered into the spreadsheet by highlighting the labels and related figures, then hold down Shift + Ctrl + F3. You can then choose to create names from the top or bottom rows, or left or right columns.

- Go directly to a named range by hitting the F5 key. The Go To dialogue box will open and display any named ranges in the spreadsheet. Simply select the named range to navigate to it in the spreadsheet.
