I want to place a "C" for canceled in a certain column, and based on the date that the "C" was entered, establish the status for the contract. For example, if it was entered today()-7, it would be a "New Cancellation", else "Canceled"

Is this possible?

TIA,
Jill.

Thanks for your response!

I was actually looking for the vba code to calculate from the date the "C" was entered into the column. I didn't want the user to have to input the date, rather for Excel to calculate it automatically.

Thanks!

Jill.

Hi Jill
1. Data Entry
Do you need help on the Status formula or on the data entry too?
For data entry:
Would the user enter both the C and the date when the C was entered?
If you want the date to be entered automatically, you need vba code

2. Status formula
Assuming C is entered in column A, the date in column B.
For the status, assuming row 2:
=IF( C2="C" , IF( (Today()-B2)<7 , "New Cancel", "Old Cancel") , "No Cancel")
or based on how you column B2 is formatted, maybe use the Datavalue() function:
=IF( C2="C" , IF( (Today()-B2)<7 , "New Cancel", "Old Cancel") , "No Cancel")

Hi Jill,
The following event macro has to be placed in the corresponding sheet code module.
It assumes the C is entered in column rgSEntry (here, A:A. If not, change the Set RgSEntry line).
Anytime a cell is changed in column rgSEntry (A:A), it writes the current date to the cell on its right (here, B:B).

'-------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rgSEntry As Range
Dim Rg As Range
Dim cell As Range

Set rgSEntry = Range("A:A") '<---- change here
'column where the C is placed

Application.EnableEvents = False
Set Rg = Application.Intersect(rgSEntry, Target)
If Not Rg Is Nothing Then
Rg.Offset(0, 1).Value = Date 'Write data one column on the right
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

ok... since you did such a great job helping me with that problem... to take it a step further...

when i delete the "C," the date in the adjacent column remains. how do i delete that date automatically if the "C" is deleted?

thanks!
