in A4 i have 12/09/15 (Saturday) and in A4 i have 16/09/15 (Wednesday)

Excel Facts

How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
First:
in A2 i have 10/09/15 (Saturday) and in A3 i have 09/09/15 (Wednesday)
does not appear to be valid dates.
Second: Perhaps if you could give a scenario on how you arrived at the dates you entered on your sheets, we could better understand what you need.

another way with PowerQuery

Code:
[SIZE=1]let
    Source = List.Dates(#date(2015, 09, 09), 365, #duration(1, 0, 0, 0)),
    DayName = Table.AddColumn(Table.FromList(Source, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error), "Day Name", each Date.DayOfWeekName([Column1]), type text),
    TypeDate = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Table.RenameColumns(Table.SelectRows(DayName, each ([Day Name] = "Saturday" or [Day Name] = "Wednesday")),{{"Column1", "Dates"}}),{{"Dates", type date}})
in
    TypeDate[/SIZE]

in this case M-code generate 105 dates (Wednesday, Saturday)

[Table="width:, class:head"]
[tr=bgcolor:#FFFFFF][td=bgcolor:#70AD47]Dates[/td][td=bgcolor:#70AD47]Day Name[/td][/tr]

[tr=bgcolor:#FFFFFF][td]
