[Solved] Dragging dates in column

Post by Poly Hive »

I have a small spread sheet with a date column, and each day I enter data. My format is 23-11-23 and tomorrow 24-11-23 and so on. When I get the cross at the bottom right of the latest date cell it will not input the next date.

I have no idea what is wrong? Ideas please?

Start by /View /Value Highlighting and check your data types. Black is text, blue a number, green a formula,
