In some cases, if you have the specific starting date and the ending date, you may need to list all the dates between these two given dates in Excel. Now this tutorial is talking about the methods to list all dates between two dates in Excel.

Here I introduce formulas which can quickly list all dates between two given dates for you in Excel.

1. Type the starting and ending dates into two cells, here I type them into cell A1 and A2. See screenshot:
doc-list-all-dates-between-two-dates-1

2. Then go to cell C1 to type this formula =A1+1 into it, then click Enter key. See screenshot:
doc-list-all-dates-between-two-dates-2

3. Then in cell C2, type this formula =IF($A$1+ROW(A1)>=$A$2-1,"",C1+1) into it, then drag the autofill handle down to the cells until a blank cell appears. See screenshots:

doc-list-all-dates-between-two-dates-3       doc-list-all-dates-between-two-dates-4

Then you can see all the dates between two given dates are listed in the column.
doc-list-all-dates-between-two-dates-5

Note:

In the above formulas, A1 is the starting date, A2 is the ending date, and C1 is the first date among the date range.


If you are interested in macro code, you can use the below VBA to list all dates between two given dates in Excel.

1. Type the starting date and ending date you into two cells, here I type in cell A1 and B1. See screenshot:
doc-list-all-dates-between-two-dates-6

2. Press Alt +F11 keys to open Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window.

3. Then click Insert > Module and copy and paste below VBA code to the popping Module window.

VBA: List all dates between two dates.

Sub WriteDates()
	'Updateby20150305
	Dim rng As Range
	Dim StartRng As Range
	Dim EndRng As Range
	Dim OutRng As Range
	Dim StartValue As Variant
	Dim EndValue As Variant
	xTitleId     = "KutoolsforExcel"
	Set StartRng = Application.Selection
	Set StartRng = Application.InputBox("Start Range (single cell):", xTitleId, StartRng.Address, Type: = 8)
	Set EndRng   = Application.InputBox("End Range (single cell):", xTitleId, Type: = 8)
	Set OutRng   = Application.InputBox("Out put to (single cell):", xTitleId, Type: = 8)
	Set OutRng   = OutRng.Range("A1")
	StartValue   = StartRng.Range("A1").Value
	EndValue     = EndRng.Range("A1").Value
	If EndValue - StartValue <= 0 Then
		Exit Sub
		End If
		ColIndex = 0
		For i = StartValue To EndValue
			OutRng.Offset(ColIndex, 0) = i
			ColIndex = ColIndex + 1
		Next
	End Sub

4. Click Run or F5 to run the VBA, and a dialog pops out for you to select the starting date, then click OK, then select the ending date in the second popping dialog. See screenshot:

doc-list-all-dates-between-two-dates-7          doc-list-all-dates-between-two-dates-8

5. Click OK, then select a cell to put out the dates, and then click OK. Now you can see all the dates between two dates are listed. See screenshots:

doc-list-all-dates-between-two-dates-9         doc-list-all-dates-between-two-dates-10

Note: The list generated by this VBA includes the starting date and ending date.

How to loop this vba code (1000 rows for example) ?
This comment was minimized by the moderator on the site
Sorry for reply such late, but I do not understand your question, the VBA only for listing dates between a date range, why need to loop the code?
This comment was minimized by the moderator on the site
Firat - did you solve your issue? I have exactly the same issue and I cannot get the result in the row instead of the column.

If you invert this line you can make it work :


OutRng.Offset(ColIndex, 0) = i to OutRng.Offset(0, ColIndex) = i

Why do not try to transpose the column result to row?
This comment was minimized by the moderator on the site
i tried the VBA code it worked.. Thanks for sharing. Similarly is it possible to pase it along columns/ horizontally?

Hello, if you want to list dates in a row horizontally, you just need to use the vba code to list the dates, and copy the results and paste transpose.

Hello, Thanks for sharing a great code. I would like to ask one question though. I am using this VBA code you shared. 1) Can I list all the other cells in the same row with the dates? 2) Can we define the starting date cell and ending date cell and the cell that the new information will be written? I am asking these questions because I have 30 rows. Each row has data for different people. Cell G is a starting date and Cell H is an ending date. Other cells contains some information. I would like this to be listed in a new cell as all the dates between these cells. For example (just showing demonstration, so only G and H cells written below-I is where the list appears): Row 2 Person A 28/05/2017 05/06/2017 28/05/2017 Row 3 Person A 28/05/2017 05/06/2017 29/05/2017 Row 4 Person A 28/05/2017 05/06/2017 30/05/2017 Row 5 Person A 28/05/2017 05/06/2017 31/05/2017 Row 6 Person A 28/05/2017 05/06/2017 01/06/2017 Row 7 Person A 28/05/2017 05/06/2017 02/06/2017 Row 8 Person A 28/05/2017 05/06/2017 03/06/2017 Row 9 Person A 28/05/2017 05/06/2017 04/06/2017 Row 10 Person A 28/05/2017 05/06/2017 05/06/2017 Row 11 Person B 23/05/2017 31/05/2017 23/05/2017 Row 12 Person B 23/05/2017 31/05/2017 24/05/2017 Row 13 Person B 23/05/2017 31/05/2017 25/05/2017 Row 14 Person B 23/05/2017 31/05/2017 26/05/2017 and so on...
