IS THERE ANY WAY TO MAKE AN EXCELL WORKSHEET SHOW THE DATE IT WAS
ORIGIONALLY
CREATED AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE ? I KNOW HOW TO USE =TODAY AND =NOW
FUNCTIONS
BUT THESE RESET THE DATE AND TIME EACH TIME THE SHEET IS SAVED OR
MODIFIED. I
NEED TO SHOW THE DATE OF CREATION AS WELL AS THE LAST DATE OF MODIFICATION
ON
MY WORKSHEET. I USE EXCEL TO PREPARE MATERIAL LISTS IN CONSTRUCTION
ESTIMATION. ANY HELP WILL BE GREAT. THANKS
