I've been looking for an answer for quite some time now without any luck. It has been difficult to word so even more difficult to find an answer.


What i'm trying to do is have excel take todays date in cell A1 =date()

In cells a2:g2 it is respectively Sunday - Monday I need a formula to have it auto populate cells a3:g3 with the correct dates dependent of the current date in cell A1.

For example:

A1 = 08/23/2018 <--- =date()

a2 = Sunday, b2 = Monday, c2 = Tuesday, d2 = Wednesday, e2 = Thursday, f2 = Friday, g2 = Saturday <---- doesn't change
a3= 08/19/2018, b3 = 08/20/2018, c3 = 08/21/2018, d3 = 08/22/2018, e3 = 08/23/2018, f3 = 08/24/2018, g3 = 08/25/2018 <--- auto-populated.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
The Problem with that formula is that A1 is a user inputting a specified date which changes per user. Once they input a date a3:g3 should auto populate.
