Anything changed in single cells in in Columns B,C, or D results in a date
in column A. DOn't try pasting ranges more than one column wide though.
You could test for this by changing the IF statement to:
If Target.Column = 2 And Target.Column <= 4 And Target.Columns.Count = 1 Then

Hello, I am trying tocreatea macro (or perhaps there is a simple
function) that will automatically fill the current date in the left
column (Column A) when I enter any text or data in a cell in Column
B.

So for example, I want cell A4 to read 06/26/07 if I enter anything in
cell B4. And then in two weeks, if I add new info in cell B5, I want
cell A5 to read the date of that entry.

Anyone know of a good formula or macro that would do this?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you can provide.- Hide quoted text -

How about referencing more than one field? How would you change the
target and make the offset a fixed or named column?

If Target.Column = 2, Target.Column=3, Target Column=4..... Then

Target.Offset(, -1).Value = Date 'reference named column??
