Default How do I make a cell equal to another cells value and not it's fo.

How do I make a cell equal to another cells value and not it's formula?
(without using a macro)

For example:
Cell X is set up to read the current date.
Cell Y is an empty cell that the user will either leave blank or place an "X".
I want cell Z to read cell Y and if there is an "X" I want the date that is
in cell X to be hardcoded into cell Z.

See

use the circular reference part and format for date or replace NOW() with
TODAY()

Thank you for the input - and your answer takes care of half of the problem
for me. However, I still need to hardcode the value that is placed into the
cell using that formula into another cell. Do you know how I can do that?
