Choose a cell you wont use, lets say A1 now type =NOW()and pres
return, the current date and time will now be displayed here.

Select the area's you want the date stamp to appear in eg. columnA hol
down CRTL and choose another column or group of cells and so on, no
right click and choose FORMAT, NUMBERSand then CUSTOM scroll down unti
you see dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm and choose this......., when you have done thi
choose DATA from the menu bar and then choose VALIDATION and then fro
the allow selection choose LIST a pop up box will appear now click th
cell we have NOW in (A1) then click the red and grey square to th
right of the formula bar on the pop up box. Now when you select an
