Hi David,

As I understand it you have values in column B and dates in column D. When
a new date is entered in a cell in column D or an existing date is changed
you want the cell on the corresponding row in column B to increase by 1.

e.g. B1 = 5, D1 = May 5, 2019
change D1 and B1 becomes 6.
- or -
e.g. B3 = 26, D3 = blank
set D3 = Feb 3, 2017 and B3 becomes 27

Provided by Peter Williams.

The macro sample would need modification but seems to clearly demonstrate
the capability you wish to implement.
Sub SheetChange(oEvent)
MsgBox "Column is " & oEvent.CellAddress.Column
MsgBox "Row is " & oEvent.CellAddress.Row
End Sub

I think you are saying that you want values in column B to be one
greater
than they are. That's a contradiction. If the value in Bn is four, you
want it to be five. But that means it's no longer four. And if it's now
five, how would any formula know you do not want it to be six? And so
on?

Thank you for your prompt reply, Brian.  It is much appreciated

Perhaps I didn't explain myself clearly enough.

In simple terms, I want to know whether there is any way that when I
enter
a
new date in Column D it will automaticall increase the current value in
Column B by 1.  I cannot think of a solution - but then I only use Calc
for
simple things - but was hoping that there is a solution.  If there
isn't, I
will just have to try and remember to manually increase the value of
Column
B every time I enter a new date in Column D.


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?
