Hi Experts,
I have a query concerning the production of a Data Validation list.
I want the list to consist of 2 dates. The date which appears in the current cell above the cursor and the date 1 day after that which appears in the current cell above the cursor.
Is this possible?
Regards Graham

How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
in the cell above, can you add a column that has +1 date as cell above? then you can do list as cell above or offset 1. Like in below, have the 1/1/17 be 12/31 + 1 and Active cell will have list of 12/31 and 1/1

12/31/16 1/1/17
Active Cell

In cell H2 I put the date 12/31/2016
In Cell I2 I put this formula: =IF(H2<>"",H2,I1+1) and copied that down
In Cell H3 I put this Data Validation Formula as a List: =OFFSET(H3,-1,1,2,1) and copied that down.

Now you can choose the previous date or the next date.
