Sort the data to represent descending order for a chronological data set. If your information is listed in a table format in multiple columns, make sure you select all of the data and sort on the date field.

Most mature programs would do that as well as check to make sure the date format is consistent. Since I don't know what program you are using that's all the information I can give you.

SOURCE: Increment a number per record in Microsoft Excel

For what you are talking about doing, Microsoft Access would probably be a better option. With Microsoft Access, you can create a custom form and have it automatically give a number.

Its the same only the interface is different. Use the same technique of the Mathematical algorithm keeping in mind the way the date, time are displayed in their format. Also switch to 24 Hr mode....sodeep

SOURCE: Word automatically updates documents

Get rid of the date field. Just type the date instead.

You can set your personal options to not update the fields under Word Options, but it doesn't stop it from updating on someone else's computer.

None of the Microsoft suggestions correct error #0x80072F8F and allow me to get updates

search for updates manually. especially for installer 3.1 install it and restart your computer. Check Services and make sure windows automatic update service is set to automatic and started. Check time and Date and download the latest version of internet explorer from microsoft site. Install it and it will automatically update many root certificates for your windows. Set the security setting of internet explorer to default level and finally try to use update application of windows. It should work.

You need to learn how to use the, "Paste Link," function. If you copy the spreadsheet and paste the information into a new tab in the same workbook, using the 'paste link' feature, the information on the linked pages will update automatically each time you update the page the links are based upon.

Want to update the dates in excel spreadsheet

Try inserting seperate entry for furture day number and then reference that entry address for program math. You will have to either use same number of days to repeat (automatic) this math or accept that it would be a single shot type math. Depending on which version of excel you are using the alert can be a sound or color change. If 97 or older, there is no alert available. 2000 isn't much better.
Easier to set furture date in orginial date block right from the start. Unless you are running the excel program continuously in the background, program will only check date when running.

Good Luck,
