Adding current dates to adjacent cells automatically.
 

I'm creating a checklist in Excel 2007 and would like to know how to
add a date in an adjacent cell automatically whenever I enter a
specific # into another cell. Does any one know of a simple formula?
Would apreciate it very much.

Adding current dates to adjacent cells automatically.
 

If A1 cell value is 55 then this formula will get you the Today's date.
=IF(A1=55,TODAY(),"")

If A1 cell value is NUMBER, then the below formula will get you the Today's
date.
=IF(ISNUMBER(A1),TODAY(),"")

Change the A1 cell to your desired cell.

Do you want the date to then remain static for all time?

There are a couple of methods to create a static date pointed out on John
McGimpsey's site.

One uses circular references and worksheet function NOW()

Other uses VBA
