easy way to add 1SS+different elapsed days to multiple subtasks?

[Randy]

Many times I want to schedule 1 day tasks that occur one week apart as all
starting from the same 0 day, using different number of elapsed days.
However, I've been linking subtasks, changing the 2nd subtask to 1SS+7eday,
dragging the cell corner to make all cells 1SS+7eday, and then manually
changing the elapsed day value to 14 eday, 21 eday, etc.

Is there a fast way to change the elapsed days in such a pattern like in
Excel? It would be great if, like in Excel, I could start with 1SS+7 ed on 1
line, 1SS+14ed on 2nd line, and be able to drag the cell corner to continue
the series 1SS+21ed, etc.

Randy,
OK, one more time, Project is not Excel. Excel is a spreadsheet and it
has lots of neat whistles and bells associated with spreadsheet type
applications. Project is a planning/scheduling application. It has lots

With regard to your periodic tasks, try using the recurring task
feature. You will find it under Insert/Recurring Task.
