Can you explain it again, but this time also mention rows?
Do you mean that a certain cell in column B, say B1, should increase its
value when you enter a new date in a previously empty cell in column D? Is
that cell always direclty below the last used row?

Do you mean that when you enter a date in the D column, the cell at the
same row in column B should be the cell above it + 1?
