column on left & #### signs auto populating

Two questions. Sorry I don't know the terminology so I will try to make my baby talk understandable as possible.

 

This is a mileage log I found on the net a few years ago. It is set up to be numbered for a month - the left hand column goes to 31. How can that be extended so I can use the same without it stopping at 31? So I can use the same page for a year or what ever?

 

Next question. Now the column where I put the dates are filling with ######. Just started today.

 

Thanks for your time. Phil

    kr6el If you could upload the template, that would help. Remove any of your own real data though.

     

    Edit: I believe I found your template. Can't see any rescriction to 31 rows though. It's a structured table and you can keep adding records to the bottom of it and all should expand automatically.

     

    The #####, however, in the Date column may arise if the column width is set to narrow.

    Widen column B to get red of the ####

        kr6el Well, somebody butchered the original template that had a structured table capturing all the data. The file you uploaded had all of the intelligence removed. I reinstated a structured table, with structured references and removed all the merged cells in the header rows. See if it works for you.
