    Auto populate based on user input

    Hello,

    I would like to have a user input the year (yyyy) only into a cell and based on their input have the adjacent cell populate with the upcoming year.

    Example:
    B6 2008 (user input) --- C6 2009 (automatically populates to the next year)

    How do I configure the cells to replicate the example above.

    Thanks,
    Lotus

    Well, if it's just a number ... 2008 ... in cell B6, C6 could have B6+1 to give you 2009.
