auto fill current time
 

I need help with this one, I can't find (figure out) the answer myself.
I have a worksheet that use at work, I want to automatically place the
current time into a cell, whenever I place data into the cell 3 rows up. I
want this 'time cell' to automatically update every time I enter data into
the cell 3 rows up. I already know the shortcut to add time to a cell. That's
not what I'm looking for here. Please advise.

auto fill current time
 

So, if you enter something in A1 then you want A4 to update with the time?

Try this event macro:

Right click the sheet tab and select View code. Paste the code below into
the window that opens.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("A1")) Is Nothing Then
With Target
If .Value < "" Then
Range("A4").Value = Format(Now, "h:mm AM/PM")
End If
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub


Close the window to return to Excel.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

It worked great.
Now for a follow up question. I need to repeat this process across 14
consecutive columns. What is the easiest way to do this?

Assume the 14 columns are A:N

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("A1:N1")) Is Nothing Then
With Target
If .Value < "" Then
Target.Offset(3, 0).Value = Format(Now, "h:mm AM/PM")
End If
End With
End If
ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

I now have an additional problem to add to this. I need to add a second line
of auto complete time in the same sheet. I need to auto add time to
(B52:O52), when I add data to (B51:O51). I've tried to do this myself but I
don't know how. Please help.
