There are a couple of methods to create a static date pointed out on John
McGimpsey's site.

One uses circular references and worksheet function NOW()

Other uses VBA

I need to know if there is a simple formula to add the current (static) date
into the adjacent cell by entering a specific # into another cell.
Example: by entering 100 into cell A1, I'd like to see the date apear in
cell B1.
Thanks, FS
