» Quickly Typing Dates into Cells

Typing a large amount of data into cells can be tiring, especially if it includes a series of dates.

Type the day (serial number only) into cell A1 and add the following formula to insert the month and year into cell B1:

=DATE (YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()), A1)

Type a full number in the cell and change it to a date by using the following formula:

=DATEVALUE(LEFT(A1,2)&"/"&MID(A1,3,2)&"/"
&RIGHT(A1,2))
For example, type 122203, the result is 12/22/03.

I want to know how to show a number, twice its value. For example showing 2 boxes of data into one. So I would have a 14, and I would want to show as a 28.
