Hi - Dave here.

Happy Friday!

One of the new functions in Excel is SEQUENCE, which is designed to generate numeric sequences.

At first glance, you might wonder how you can use a function like this. Sure, you can use SEQUENCE to generate the numbers 1-10, or even 1-100, but what else?

Well, one of the most useful applications for SEQUENCE is dates. Dates in Excel are just  numbers, so you can use SEQUENCE to create a dynamic list of dates, as seen in the worksheet below:

This is an easy problem in the current version of Excel, which offers the SEQUENCE function. In an older version of Excel without SEQUENCE, you can use a simple formula like =D5+1, copied down manually. The attached worksheet contains formulas for both options.
