Autofill and auto-format calendar with day number

Hello all, first time poster here, happy to meet you all. I have a simple Excel question about auto-filling a calendar. Here is the file:


https://www.dropbox.com/s/amvr26uohksxbsp/SALES%20CALENDAR.xls


The goal is to enter in the date into the first box, and have it auto-fill the rest of the numbers of the calendar. One of my biggest stumbling blocks is how to format the cells so that they return the day number, not the month or the day of the week. I would also like to lock the cells that have the formula on them so that they are not accidentally changed.


As this is likely an easy formula to write, if the person who responds could provide an explanation of how they got the formula they are using, that would be very helpful as I am trying to learn more about the program by joining this forum.
 
Hi Fluxtopia...


Thanks for your question and welcome to Chandoo.org forums.


Select the cells with dates and go to format cells > Number and select "Custom" and then type d as format code. This will display only date omitting the month and year part.
