Dear all,

I come again to this forum in a time of need and would appreciate any light that people could share with me on this.

I have a sheet which takes information from a pivot table in my document - to retrieve this information I use the following formula.

=GETPIVOTDATA("Sum of Total CC",'Complaints Pivot'!$A$3,"Month","April","W/E",DATE(2010,4,3),"Group","Oranges")

Now, I want to update my sheet for 2011 but I have over 500 cells with different dates in - Each row is a new week I.E.

2010,4,3
2010,4,10
2010,4,17


Now I need to change these values to match the same dates in 2011 which would be

2011,4,2
2011,4,9
2011,4,16

respectively. Therefore I would want to increase the dates by 364 days. Is there a way to do this for the whole sheet easily or am I going to have to find and replace rows individually (52 times).

Thanks for any light you can shed on this.

Regards,
Paul
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Well, I could go on about the drawbacks of hard-coding dates into formulas, but I won't. I will say that a macro may be the best way forward for you, like this:
Code:
Sub change_all_weeks()
    startdte = #4/3/2010#
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    For iwk = 0 To 51
        origstring = "DATE(" & Format(startdte + 7 * iwk, "yyyy,m,d)")
        newstring = "DATE(" & Format(startdte + 364 + 7 * iwk, "yyyy,m,d)")
        Cells.Replace What:=origstring, Replacement:=newstring, _
        LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:= _
        False, ReplaceFormat:=False
    Next
End Sub
