How do it without doing it manually?

 

[Bilingual]

I might have written it too complicated, the only thing i want is a new datecolumn to add 1 to the date for every 24 row.

 

[shg]

Enter one date manually in A2, then

[Table="width:, class:grid"][tr][td="bgcolor:#C0C0C0"][/td][td="bgcolor:#C0C0C0"]

Here's a possibility. It depends on what you think "manual" is.

1. Start in cell A1. Enter your start date including hours and minutes; e.g., 2018-10-17 00:00.
2. Enter the following formula into A2: = A1 + 1/24. This should result with A2 showing the following value: 2018-10-17 01:00. It has been incremented by one hour since an hour is 1/24 of a day.
3. Drag the formula down to fill cells A3, A4, etc. Drag it as far as you need to to generate all the dates and hours that you need.
4. This may already bee accomplishing what you really need. But if you truly need to have the dates and times split into two columns then create formulas in cells B1 and C1 that accomplish this. I.e., in B1 use =DATE(YEAR(A1), MONTH(A1), DAY(A1)) and in C1 use = HOUR(A1).
5. Drag these formulas down as far as you need.
6. If you want the values rather than the formulas then copy and paste as values.
7. Of course, start in any cell that you want.

I hope this helps.

Hi Dan, thanks for tries, i ended up solving it with a combination your advice and of INT,CEILING and MOD
=INT(A1)+CEILING(MOD($A1;1);1/24)

I'm glad my suggestion sparked ideas that worked for you, Bilingual.
