Inputting a column of dates manually is a tedious process that can result in inconsistent formats and erroneous values.
Therefore, it would make sense to use a date picker. Except, Excel does not have one natively — at least not in 64-bit versions. This means you're dependent on third-party add-ins.
There're a few out there, but a particularly good one is featured on a website called Rad Sheets.
Do the following:
The date picker button now appears in the ribbon and as an icon beside the active cell if it uses the Date number format or is directly below a cell that contains a date.
Have a go and see what you think. Hopefully, we won't have to rely on third-party add-ins in the future, but it's the best we've got for now!
