Insert date when a cell is changed
Hi
Is there a way to insert the current date into a cell in column D when a cell on the same row is changed? I need a method that doesn't involve a macro as many people will be updating the spreadsheet and won't enable their macros |

If you don't want to use macro's, you're very limited.
You could write a function that sets the date, but this date will not be fixed and will change (the TODAY() function for instance). Also, you will need to drag down that formula far enough to be sure to cover enough rows. Not very appealing I guess. -- Wigi http://www.wimgielis.be = Excel/VBA, soccer and music "jen2018" wrote: Hi Is there a way to insert the current date into a cell in column D when a cell on the same row is changed?

If you use John's circular reference method you don't need macros enabled.
That method is posted above the worksheet_change event method.
