How to List All Dates Between Two Dates in Excel
If you need to list all dates between two specific dates in Excel, you can do so using a simple formula. This is how you do it:
Step 1: Input Your Start and End Dates
First, in two separate cells, enter your start date and end date. For example, you might enter 1/1/2023
in cell A1 and 1/31/2023
in cell B1.
Step 2: Use the SEQUENCE Function
Next, go to the cell where you want your date list to begin, let's say A3. Enter the following SEQUENCE function: =SEQUENCE(B1-A1+1,1,A1,1)
. This formula will generate a vertical list (column) of dates.
Step 3: Format the Cells as Dates
To ensure that Excel recognizes and displays the list as dates, highlight the cells and go to the Home
tab. In the Number
group, select Short Date
or Long Date
from the dropdown menu.
Step 4: Check the Results
Finally, confirm that Excel has correctly listed all dates between your two specified dates.
