If you want those dates to be based on weeks, you would want to calculate it in days. =date1+7 is for one week past due date, and for two weeks you would use =date1+14.
To speed the entry of these formulas, you can (and should) use absolute referencing, like this:
=[Target Date]$1 + 1
=[Target Date]$1 + 2
Two cells can be selected and dragged down to increment them. Since that will run into weekends too, I would add another column for the lag (Text/Number)
Then the formula becomes
=[Target Date]$1 + [Lag]@row

Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all. There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
