I've got a battery operated remote video camera that saves its files to a memory card, I hadn't appreciated that the date/time settings on the camera had defaulted back to the factory settings so are years out of date. Hence all the date-time stamps on the video clip files are wrong.

I've taken two date/time readings - one from the camera and one from my watch. I reckon if the difference can be worked out (I'll call it 'Time Error') and that is then added to each of the time stamps of the video clips I should end up with the correct time.

Below is as far as I've got. I can't seem to find a formula (that works) to get the Time Error and, from that, to add it to each clip time to get the corrected clip time.

Would be grateful for any help before my brain fries :)

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Thank you :) Never thought of doing straight subtraction and addition (doh !!)
