How do I create an automatic 'date last updated' reference?
I would like to create a function that automatically returns the current date
if certain other specific cells are edited, i.e. it is a reference to the last time cells on that row were updated. Please help?? |

J.E. McGimpsey shows a way to put a time stamp on the same row when something
changes: http://www.mcgimpsey.com/excel/timestamp.html ajames wrote: I would like to create a function that automatically returns the current date if certain other specific cells are edited, i.e. it is a reference to the last time cells on that row were updated. Please help?? -- Dave Peterson |

How do I create an automatic 'date last updated' reference?
Thanks both of you, but neither options seem to update the date when (and
only when) the data in another cell is changed. For example, I would like cell A3 to display the last date that cell A1 or A2 was updated.

How do I create an automatic 'date last updated' reference?
I had a similar problem and Tom solved it for me in an earlier thread with the following.... Hi, Latest brainteaser, I have a Excel 2000 pro workbook, in one of the spreadsheets I have column (E) that uses a dropdown list (Data/Validation/List). I want the next column (F) to automatically show the date that the entry to column E was last changed or if there has been no change show a generic start date.... Is this possible? -- Alec H ------------------------------------------------------------------------ right click on the sheet tab and select view code. In the resulting module paste in code like this: Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Column = 5 Then Cells(Target.Row, 6).Value = Now Cells(Target.Row, 6).NumberFormat = "mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm" Target.Offset(0, 1).EntireColumn.AutoFit End If End Sub You can run a onetime macro to fill any empty cells Sub FillWithGeneric() Set rng = Columns(5).SpecialCells(xlConstants) For Each cell In rng With cell.Offset(0, 1) If IsEmpty(.Value) Then .Value = DateValue("01/01/2006") + TimeValue("08:00") .NumberFormat = "mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm" End If End With Next Columns(5).AutoFit End Sub -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy Hope this helps.
