This may not be the best of answers but try adding another blank sheet and
copying your list of dates to Column A. In B1 enter the formula:

=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1) 1,DAY(A1))

and copy down the length of your dates using the fill handle. With the
formulas still highlighted, copy the range across as required. Again with
the fomulas still highlighted, copy the formulas and paste back into the
same range with Paste Special gt; Values.

Now use this table of dates to copy and paste to your various sheets.--
