I have a table that is being created by a VBA script. In the 1st row, the Payroll Date column has a formula that returns the next Thursday based on Today(). What I need after that in the following rows is the Payroll Date column to just add 7 to the starting date. Essentially it could just do a formula F5+7. How do I set that value for Row 2 and beyond and not disturb the formula in the first row?

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
If you go to File, Options, Proofing, Autocorrect Options, Autoformat as you type, then uncheck "Fill formulas in tables"

Thank you! One add on question will that still bring in the F5+7 to the additional rows as they are added?

Probably not, tables do not like having a mix of formulae.
I have seen situations where the formulae get badly mixed up.

Just an update to this...I ended up setting a formula using an If statement where I said If the cell above = the actual Column heading then use the cell that contained the date of next Thursday, otherwise use the formula Cell Above + 7
