Alternative for SEQUENCE function on EXCEL 2019
Hello.
I am using the Excel 2019 and i want to create a sequence of dates number that depends on a selected month of a year from a data validation list (screenshot). I can do that on Excel 365 (web version) using the function "=SEQUENCE(1;DAY(EOMONTH(C2;0)))" (where C2 is the selected month & year. It works on Excel 365 but not in 2019.
Is there any alternative function for the 2019 version?
Thank you!

I have tried but it only return only 1Detlef_Lewin
- It returns only the "1" number.
Unfortunately I cannot test because I use Office 365 and the formula spills. However if you want to use in inside another formula it should work as expected.
If you just want to create a sequence of numbers in a row try this:In C5: =DAY(EOMONTH(C2,0)) In D5 and copy to the right: =IF(COLUMNS($D5:D5)>$C$5,"",COLUMNS($D5:D5))
Note: This function is currently available to Microsoft 365 subscribers in Current Channel. It will be available to Microsoft 365 subscribers in Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel starting in July 2020.
For more information on how features are rolled out to Microsoft 365 subscribers, see When do I get the newest features for Microsoft 365.
Hope I was able to help you with this info.

You are absolutely right, sometimes thoughts fly faster than the eye can read :).
In my hurry, I did not read the entire text.
Here is some information from the Internet for alternatives to dynamic formulas.
Thank you for your understanding and patience
I think Mr. Lewin gave the answer you probably need.
Thanks to Mr. Lewin 🙂
