Default Automatically replace a formula with its value?

Is there any way to automatically replace a formula with its value when a
condition is met, without the user changing it manually? I'm not talking
about macros, but rather, for instance, if NOW()=A2 then the value in A3
stops changing.

Not possible without a macro.

Apparently, there's a formula in A3 but it's value is supposed to freeze at
a particular time.

One thing that might help is to first use
Tools Options Calculation
and check "Iteration" and set "Maximum Iterations" to 1. This allows
circular references.

Then, in A3, put
=IF(NOW()A2, A3, your_formula_here )
