Drag down - 5 rows same date and then plus 1 day

Hola 🙂

 

I would like to have an option to drag down (to create new rows in my table).

 

The date column should repeat the same date 5 times, add one day, and repeat that date 5 times.

 

Is there an easy way?

    I would use a formula, but that is simply the way I work

    = StartDate + QUOTIENT(SEQUENCE(Count,,0),5)

    No 'miracles' with flash fill etc for me I'm afraid.

    Celia9 The easy way, though not very elegant, would be to start with something like this (dates in B, formulas used in C):

    Now select B7:B11 and pull the drag handle down as far as needed to end up with this:
