How to duplicate a row of Dates into 5 rows arranged according to date.
=DATE(2026,7,1) + INT((ROW(A2)-ROW($A$2))/5)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
n Microsoft Excel
For this example, assume your first date starts on July 1, 2026. [1]
Using a Formula:
Using the
SEQUENCE Function (Excel 2021 or Microsoft 365):- Click the first cell (e.g.,
A2). [1] - Type this dynamic array formula:
=SEQUENCE(20, 1, DATE(2026,7,1), 0.2)- Note: Setting the step to
0.2(which is equal to \(\frac{1}{5}\) of a day) increments the date by exactly 1 day for every 5 rows. [1]
- Note: Setting the step to
- Select the column, go to the Home tab, click the Number Format dropdown, and select Short Date. [1]
In R Programming
- Run this code snippet to generate a sequence of, for example, 30 sequential days, repeated 5 times each:
my_dates <- rep(seq.Date(from = as.Date("2026-07-01"), to = as.Date("2026-07-30"), by = "day"), each = 5) - If you need it to be a clean data frame column, you can format it as a tibble:
date_column <- tibble(Date = my_dates)[1, 2, 3, 5]
In Google Sheets
- Enter your starting date in the first two cells (e.g.,
A1andA2). - Highlight the first 10 cells in the column (since 5 per date will occupy rows 1-10).
- Click and drag the blue fill handle in the bottom-right corner of the selection downwards.
- Click the small Auto-fill options menu at the bottom of your drag and ensure it is set to Fill Series. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
