Hi folks,
I'm putting together a spreadsheet in org-mode. This is the general format:
|----------------------+---------------+--------------------|
| Date | Field One | Field Two |
|----------------------+---------------+--------------------|
| [2016-02-07 Sun] | | |
| [2016-02-14 Sun] | | |
| [A few lines] | | |
| [A few more lines] | | |
| [2016-12-25 Sun] | | |
|----------------------+---------------+--------------------+
The date column needs to have a list of dates for every Sunday this year.
In a traditional spreadsheet program there would be a function to 'fill'
the series of dates automatically. I can't see anything in org-mode that
would do this. Am I missing something, or will I just have to do it
manually?
Thanks!

Hi,
S-<RET> (Shift-Return) is your friend. After you've entered the first
two dates, move down to the third row (which needs to be empty), and hit
S-<RET>. You can continue pressing S-<RET> without moving down a row
each time.
Yours,
Christian
