Default =NOW()

Hi,

NOW and other volatile functions don't just change when the file is
opened, they change every time the sheet is recalculated.

Take a look here for a workaround.

When I insert the NOW function in my worksheet, it updates whenever I open
it. I only want the function to work when I hit "save" or update a cell
in
the worksheet, so that the date/time indicate the last time someone
reviewed/changed it, not the last time it was simply opened.
