All the formula's I am getting is making just as lost as when I read about it online. I need something much more dumbed down. Years ago someone went to opening page of excel. Clicked on the top from general to short date, fill, then series, and this little box popped up but I do not remember what they did from that point on. Whatever they did, it threw out all the dates based on how often the appointment was.

If someone has an appointment every 6 weeks starting July 15th until December 15th for example, instead of me counting it by hand, it just did it without all the formula stuff. Thanks

    THANK YOU!! Good heavens that is it. Simple now to do 289 people. You are a lifesaver Sergei for making this idiot proof for those of us who have no idea what we are doing on excel. Big hugs to you!
