    Copying a date through multiple sheets.

    Basically, what I am trying to do is my workbook has 12 sheets, 1 for each month. In cell A7 on the first sheet (Jan) I would like to enter 01-01-2009 and then it add a month on each of the sheets. e.g. 01-02-2009 01-03-2009 and so forth. I know I can manually put in the first of the month on each of the sheets, just wondering if it can be automated.

    Thanks for your time

    Put this formula in each sheet

    =Date(Year(Sheet1!A7),Month(Sheet1!A7)+1,Day(Sheet1!A7))

    then either change the +1 to +2, +3, +4, etc for each respective sheet.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    The below formula will result in the date of Sheet1 plus a month so you could do it like that, but if it is just a case of doing this task once for 12 sheets then I would say the best bet is to do it manually.

    =DATE(YEAR(Sheet1!A1),MONTH(Sheet1!A1)+1,DAY(Sheet1!A1))

    Let me know if I haven't fully understood what you wanted to do.

    EDIT: Beaten to it. Damn. :P
