Set up a time line tracking schedule

[Harley Rider]

I am trying to set up a tracking schedule for vehicle repair. I need to set
a time line to track initial work, when to order parts, when to schedule the
work etc. Basically I want column A to be the start or work request , all
the way to column J to be the start of work. In between will be target dates.
So A will be lets say 180 days from J. And in between A-J will be other
target dates that are critical to planning of the work and ordering parts.

If you enter in a date in A1, and then enter a formula in J1 "=A1+180"
then J1 will show the date you're looking for. If all of your B-K
columns use consistent date offsets you could just use a similar
formula in those as well.

Start Date: A1 = 9/1/2007
Next step: B1 = A1 + number of days
etc...

Thanks for your help. Do you know of a web site that has online tutorial to
help learn more about excel?

Thanks Again
