That's it, the excel I am working with is not in english, there comes the
problem.
How to further to run the macro automatically whenever the value in cell a1
is altered? The problem is that the new value may be the same of the previous
one.
That can be done with an if statement or a timestamp like

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If Not Application.Intersect(Range("a1:a20"), Target) Is Nothing Then
If Target.Cells.Count = 1 Then
With Target
If IsNumeric(.Value) And .Value 0 Then
Target.Offset(0, 1).Value = Format(Now, "mm-dd-yy hh:mm:ss")
Target.Offset(0, 1).Value = ""
End If
End With
End If
End If
End Sub

is necessary?

Thanks a lot. That should be exactly what I need but I end up with a run
time
error 9. Have no idea what may be wrong.

This code will take the value in A1 and store it in the next empty row in
column E, with the current date in column D

Sub ArchiveA1()
Dim xlr As Long
With Sheets("Sheet1")
.Range("D1") = "Date"
.Range("E1") = "Value"
xlr = .Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Row + 1
.Cells(xlr, 4) = Format(Date, "dd/mm/yyyy")
.Cells(xlr, 5) = .Range("A1")
End With
End Sub

I am after to store the "daily variables of a single cell" into a
column
and
form a serie.
Every day, the value in the cell (say A1) is altered. I want to extract
that
value from A1 to any other place to get the history of the A1. The date
of
the data will be attached to the value. Is there a way?

In the below logic we get random numbers for lotterie, and every draw
is
written to the next row. How does it come? This is in fact what I am
looking
for but I was enable to extract the good fo the program for me.

Happy new year to everyone...
