I have four columns in excel. Column A is Date while Column B is Day. Column B depends on the value in Column B and I got the Formula for any specific date for column B and that's not my concern anymore.
Column C is designated for formula.
Column B and C are to be hidden (not a problem).
Column D is Activities.
My concern is I want Column C to not contain any formula but I want it to be filled with values based on another column or cell.
Column B, C, and D are the connected now to each other.
Column C will contain the formula that will fill Column D based on Column B.
Column D are editable cell meaning to say, I will type in some of the cell in Column D while other cell in Column D are automatically filled based on Column B using the formula in Column C.
Here's a scenario.

You will enter formula in Column C.
If B2 is "Sunday" or "Saturday" , then either "Sunday" or "Saturday" will be automatically copied in Column D.
And if Column B are Weekdays, I will type in the Activities I've done in that day.

Is it possible? If so, what formula or Codes should I be using?

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.

Following your given solution, formulas in Column D (Activities) will be remove as soon as I input my activities in cells under column D.

I was actually looking for a formula in column C (Formula) that will fill up column D.

In your version of excel, a formula can only populate the cell that it is in. So a formula in column C cannot put a value in column D

:confused: Your overall description is very confusing:

Example 1
Column B depends on the value in Column B


Example 2
Column C is designated for formula.

My concern is I want Column C to not contain any formula but I want ....

Column C will contain the formula that will fill ...

I have four columns in excel. Column A is named "Date" while Column B is named " Day".

Column C is designated for formula and is named "Formula".

Column B and C are to be hidden as soon as this problem is fixed (not a problem anymore).

Column D is named "Activities" and it SHOULD NOT contain the formula because I will type in there the activities I've done.

Column B, C, and D are the connected now to each other.

Column C will contain the formula that will fill Column D based on Column B.

Column D are editable cell meaning to say, I will type Data in some of the cell in Column D while other cell in Column D are automatically filled with "Saturday" and "Sunday" based on Column B using the formula in Column C.

Here's a scenario.

You will ONLY enter formula in Column C.
If B2 is "Sunday" or "Saturday" , then either "Sunday" or "Saturday" will be automatically copied in Column D.

And if Column B are Weekdays, I will type in the Data / Activities I've done in that day.

Is it possible? If so, what formula or Codes should I be using?
