We have a spreadsheet that we would like to automatically add the date in the
first cell of each row when information is entered into another cell in that
row. The date would need to remain static once added. Any suggestions?

I don't think there's a function that will work for this, but you
could use the following vba:

If Range("A" & Target.Row).Value = "" Then
Range("A" & Target.Row).Value = Now()
End If

To assign the code, right-click on the tab and select View Code. The
vba editor will open. Click the drop-down list that contains the text
"(General)" and select Worksheet. Then click the drop down list in
the upper right that contains the text "(Declarations)" and select
Change. You should then be presented with this:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

End Sub

Paste the code from above between the two lines of text. It should
look like this:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range("A" & Target.Row).Value = "" Then
Range("A" & Target.Row).Value = Now()
End If
End Sub

Close the vba editor window to get back to the spreadsheet.

Hope this helps.
