    Why don't you just use the formula Today() in your Sheet1, for example, in A1, and use formula A2= A1+1 and drag down till A21. That will give you a list of the 21 dates including today.
    A dream is not something you see when you are asleep, but something you strive for when you are awake.

    It's usually a bad idea to say that something can't be done.

    The difference between dream and aim, is that one requires soundless sleep to see and the other requires sleepless efforts to achieve

    Hi rich_cirillo

    You could use data validation. Create a list in your sheet say in column V, in V1 & copy down:
    =TODAY()+21*ROW()-21

    Data Validation:
    =OFFSET($V$1,0,0,COUNTA($V:$V),1)

    Hi rich_cirillo

    The COUNTA returns the returns the number of cells that are not empty. Then returning that to the OFFSET function for the Height.

    See the link on the OFFSET function.

    I think this suffices:


    in V1:
    PHP Code:
    =TODAY()+ROW(1:$21
