        Still not automatically filling in working days? In fact, it is very simple to operate in Excel. Below, I will share the tutorial on how to automatically fill in working days in Excel. Let’s take a look. I believe it will be helpful to everyone.

Method 1: Pull-down method

       Enter the start date in the form. Do not enter this directly into the cell, but enter it using a formula. It is the direction pointed by the red arrow, otherwise the cell input does not have a year but only the month and day.

Put the mouse on the lower right corner of the starting cell. At this time, the mouse turns into a "cross". Pull it down to the date you need. The stop row will display the date of the row, so you don't need to calculate it yourself.

After releasing the mouse, we find that all dates have been filled in. We can find a small cell-like frame in the direction pointed by the red arrow in the lower right corner. Click on the "small triangle" on the right side of it.
