Hi i use financial years a lot and was wondering if there was a simple way to
copy, paste/drag the years down a column so they expand? For example when i
drag the years down i get:
2006/07
2006/08
2006/09

Does anyone know how to get 2006/07, 2007/08 etc?

Thanks
 
I would do it with a formula. Enter your starting fiscal year in, say, A1,
then use:
=left(a1,4)+1&"/"&text(right(a1,2)+1,"00")
and drag down.

Click to expand...

You have received a few formula based approaches, another way of doing this
is by using custom lists.

Set up a custom list in Excel Options with the financial years.

Now enter a financial year in a cell. Click on the little dot at the corner
of the cell selector and drag. Financial years fill as expected.
