You could also do this with formulas: A1: 06/09/02 B1: =TEXT(A1,"dddd") A2: =A1+1 B2: =TEXT(A2,"dddd") A3: =A1+7 B3: =TEXT(A3,"dddd") A4: =A3+1 B2: =TEXT(A4,"dddd") Then just highlight A3:A4 and replicate down.

To create a custom list 1. <Tools>  <Options>  <Custom Lists> 2. Select NEW LIST 3. Enter 1st list as: Friday, Saturday 4. Click Add 5. Enter 2nd list as the Dates you want (you will have to write down all dates in the list box or write them down in a worksheet and wile creating custom List, supply relevant range in the Text box "Import List from Cells:" 6. Click OK. 7. Go to the cell where you want the 1st date and enter the first date, press Enter 8. Got to that cell again, and move your mouse pointer over it until you see a thin Plus sign. 9. As soon as you see the thin plus sign, left click and drag it over the range where you want the list to appear then release the mouse button. Now you Automatically see the List :) 10. To enter days, repeat the same procedure. 11. In case of difficulty, come back to me, :- ) However, this is doing it almost manually. Maybe it can be further automated by using a macro, I do not know.
