Hello all

I am trying to produce a register for a boxing club which practices on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays every week. I would like to have the people's names down the left-hand side and the dates going horizontally across the top rows 2 and 3. I would like to be able to change the month and the year (E1 and E2) so I can easily produce a new sheet for every month without having to manually calculate / or fill out the relevant dates. Is there a way of me entering the month and year in E1 and E2 and then rows 2 and 3 automatically populate with the day (E1) and the date (E2) but so that it only auto fills for Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays for every week in the month? I have done the below manually to illustrate what I want.

Many thanks in advance to anyone who is able to help me.

To adjust the number of columns that you need for the month just drag the formulas in cells D3:D4 across to the right.

Solution
Put this formula in cell C3 and don't copy anywhere. Format row 3 with a Custom Format of "dddd" and format row 4 with your desired date format

The OP has 365 so a spill formula is probably fine, but if it was required for earlier versions and trying to accommodate the OP's wish for this to be as automated as possible then we could save them having to manually drag across or delete excess formulas at the right from month to monthas follows.
C3 and D4 formulas are copied across at least far enough to accommodate the most practice days possible in a month then all that needs doing each month is to alter E1/E2 as required.

Wow! Thank you all so much for taking the time to respond. I was working on replicating the first solution, which I managed to do and then noticed that additional solutions were also offered! I will try the other solutions too - but thank you all so much.
