Sequential dates using a starting date in Cell

using Windows 10, Excel for Microsoft 365

 

I am trying to create a spreadsheet for users, I need the spreadsheet to update the current date in Cell I3, i have used formula =TODAY(), I then need the excel document to fill the adjacent columns with the current date +1, +2 +3 etc, however I can not drag this across. Is there a way to get a spreadsheet to open with the current date, then auto fills the columns?

 

I3 =TODAY() 23/8/21

J3 =TODAY()+1 24/8/21

K3= TODAY()+2 25/8/21

L3 = TODAY()+3 26/8/21

M3 = TODAY()+4 27/8/21   etc etc

    elizabeth1604 As a variant in case all you users' Excel versions, support dynamic array functions. In the example below, the SEQUENCE function produces an array of 1 row by 25 columns, starting at TODAY() and incrementing by 1. Change the number 25 to you own needs/liking.
