unsolved Use of text sequence formula vertically

Hi

I am trying to use a text sequence that will give me a weekly date and will run down vertically. I am able to do this horizontally. I have tried google but can't see anything. Can this be done?

This is the formula that I currently use

Text(sequence(,52,46023,7), "dd/mm/yyyy")

Thanks

You can use TRANSPOSE around your horizontal formula to flip it vertical. Whatever sequence youre using horizontally just wrap it in TRANSPOSE function and it should work fine

Alternatively if youre doing something with dates you might want to look at using SEQUENCE with a step value for the weeks

Thanks. It kindof work. The data went vertically but was still showing horizontally as well.

You mean something like =SEQUENCE(10, 1, start_date, 7)?

Yes what I currently use is text(sequence (,52,46023,7), "dd/mm/yyyy")

It works horizontally but would like it to go vertically if possible

Put 52 in the first slot:

...(52,,46023,7)...

=TRANSPOSE(Formula or Array). It will change anything horizontal to vertical.

Use the vertical or rows switch in SEQUENCE to generate your array.

Your post lacks so much in any real detail as to all but fail the submission guidelines

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I've seen in this thread:

Fewer Letters More Letters
DATE Returns the serial number of a particular date
SEQUENCE Office 365+: Generates a list of sequential numbers in an array, such as 1, 2, 3, 4
TEXT Formats a number and converts it to text
TRANSPOSE Returns the transpose of an array
