Hi Hans, thank you for your response; for some reason i am getting an error value when using either of these formulas. The value is written in the date format, what you think the issue may be?

- Consulting999Aug 03, 2023Copper ContributorHans you are a lifesaver. If i were to change the number of rows, do I only switch out the 210 or is the portion with 2,1,0 also relevant? Thank you so much

You only need to change the value 210 to for example 70 or 100.
- Consulting999Aug 03, 2023Copper ContributorEverything is working fine, except in cases where i manually enter dates for the first x rows (10, for example) and then want to implement the formula. For some reason, when using the formula with 75 as a divisor instead of 210, assuming the first 10 rows were copied manually, and I enter the formula in the 11th, it only repeats that first date for 25 rows, then the next dates are spread correctly (i.e., every 75 rows) if that makes sense. Not sure why that's happening.
