I need to create column headers that show a date progression through several
years, showing the 1st & the 15th of each month. I think I've tried
everything in my fill series options, but nothing is working (I even tried
".5 months")
Is there a simple answer to this?

Thanks for your help.
 
With your first date in B1:

=IF(DAY(B1)=1,DATE(YEAR(B1),MONTH(B1),15),
DATE(YEAR(B1),MONTH(B1)+1,1))
 
In A1 enter the 1st date
In B1 enter the formula and copy across...
=DATE(YEAR(A1),IF(DAY(A1)=1,MONTH(A1),MONTH(A1)+1),IF(DAY(A1)=1,15,1))

If this post helps click Yes
 
If you don't need formulas and you are XL2002 or better then select the 2
date. Drag them as usual. When complete select the Fill options at the bottom
right of the filled cells. Choose months... You can get the same thing
dragging with the right mouse button and choosing months.
