If formula - URGENT
If you want the current date & time in B if A isn't blank, but you want B
blank if A is blank, then you could change your formula to =IF(A1="","",NOW()) but remember that it will continue to show current date and time each time you open or update the sheet. If you want the value frozen at the time A is filled in, then you'll probably need a VBA solution. -- David Biddulph "orquidea" wrote in message ...

And don't use URGENT in the subject, it is likely to do the exact opposite
of its intention and turn people off. -- --- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "Niek Otten" wrote in message ...

Hi Niek
Thanks for your previous suggestion. I want to freeze the time once it has been filled in A. As David said, with the current formula the time updates as the sheet is being updated.
