Hello,

Drop down list to create a series of dates for a daily checker. As stated I am trying to create a drop down list in excel in cell A1 that contains a list of the months. Once a month is picked I want to populate the dates for that month across the a range. 1/1/22 - 1/31/22 and on. The dates only need to be in numerical order we don't care day designations ie: Sun, Mon, Tues.... Whats everyone's thoughts or tools that would be able to make this function.

Regards

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.

However when I do it all I get is an error code Function SEQUENCE parameter 1 value is 0. It should be greater than or equal to 1. is there something I am missing?

As you can see above it works for me as is. What happens if you use this instead?
Excel Formula:
=SEQUENCE(1,DAY(EOMONTH(1&A1,0)),DATEVALUE(1&A1))

when I do it all
What do you mean by "do it all"?

When I add it to my excel sheet it drop an error code in reference to the drop down menu. With the new formula populates it sends an error will overwrite a cell.
