Auto-populate every second day between two given dates


I'm currently using the formula in this article to auto-populate a column of dates between to given dates:

=ArrayFormula(TO_DATE(row(indirect("A"&A2):indirect("A"&B2))))

How can I tweak the formula to give every second date? Column D in the article would then say:

  • 01/04/2018
  • 03/04/2018
  • 05/04/2018
  • 07/04/2018 ...and so on.

Solution

  • It seems like the formula skips a day if the start date is an odd date. Can this be corrected?

    =ARRAYFORMULA(FILTER(TO_DATE(ROW(INDIRECT("A"&A2):INDIRECT("B"&B2))),
     MOD(ROW(INDIRECT("A1:A"&COUNTA(TO_DATE(ROW(INDIRECT("A"&A2):INDIRECT("B"&B2)))))), 2)))
