How do I fill down the above so that it repeats every 4 rows as above so that the next four rows are 21/1/2024 then 21/2/2024 and so on?

  • Does each cell have to be in date format?

    If not, I would use say 3 columns. Column 1 would be a series of 21's, Column 2 would be the month (just copy and paste, and Column 3 would be the year. Then resize the width of each column accordingly to minimise space.

    Pretty basic I know but maybe that solution would be acceptable?

    Just enter the first four (identical) dates, then, if the first cell is A1, in the 5th row put =EDATE(A1,1)
    Copy that formula down as far as you want. You can copy and past the results back onto themselves as values if you don't want to risk them changing later.
