Sequential dates in powerpoint

So I am trying to make a printable diary that I can print out each year. I know there is a way to do what I am after but I can't figure it out!

I have a table on each slide with 1 column and 7 rows to be the diary layout each week.

The dates are obviously sequential to cover a year.

I could manually add them in but then I would be updating it every time I need more pages which is a task I do not fancy!

Is there a way using VBA that I can have it auto update the dates for me based on what I enter in the first row of the table?

    Your task would be much easier in Word. PowerPoint lacks the date fields that would make this possible, and doing it with VBA entails a steep learning curve.

    Dear Eliora,

    Sorry for that there may be no out-of-the-box option doing that in PowerPoint for Mac.

    As you said, VBA may do that. I suggest you get help from the VBA specific support channel mentioned in Office VBA support and feedback | Microsoft Learn to see whether you can get a solution.

    Meanwhile, I'll keep the thread open and welcome other experienced members to share their suggestions and opinions.

    Thank you for your effort and understanding.

    Sincerely
