how can i display the date and time of a cell entry in excel?
 
i'm using excel to capture some data entry for a few users. i would like to
be able to automatically insert the date/time a user entered a value into
another cell in the same row as opposed to having the user select the date.
is this possible? if i use the 'today' function... i believe this will
change each time the worksheet is opened. Any ideas?

Hi,

Just use a Time stamp ...
see John's excellent example :

That would require VBA, if you are up for it post back with more details, and
someone will help

You could use an event macro like the one at J.E. McGimpsey's site:
