John,

Copy the code below, right-click on the sheet tab, select "View Code", and paste the code into the
window that appears.

It will put the date in column B (in the same row) for any change in column A, if the change is done
to a single cell and not to a group of cells.

Obviously, the code can be modified to apply to any range of entered cells....

HTH,

Target(1, 2).Value = Date

End Sub

Can I get excel to enter the date in one cell that data was entered in
another, without relying on the user to input this data?

I have tried the TODAY() function but this changes the date each time te
sheet is reloaded!

Thanks in advance for any help.

John
