Increment Date On Each Repeat


Ryan

Recommended Posts

I have a repeating macro that I need some help with; time/date is my kryptonite.

 

1. Need to be able to start with a specific date in the past in MMDDYYYY format;  I think I have this part...but probably not

I think I'm close under set "Specific Date?Time "Specific Date" and set format and "type out." That part I can get.

2. Upon repeat, I need it to increment the specific date +1. I see the tools in there that adjust the day from the current date, but I can't seem to modify from the original set date. 

 

I'm pulling my hair out...please help. The rest of the macro is flawless... just need to change the date one day at a time.
