Event trigger in Excel?
 

I have 2 columns. Column 1 is text. Column 2 says: =IF(A1="","",Today()).
So if column 1 has data, column 2 gets today's date.

Question: Is there a way to have column 2 update itself based on a change
to column 1. My preference is that column 2 sets itself to the date an
update was made, and then changes ONLY when another update is made. I can
do it easy enough in Access with an event trigger and some simple VB, but
not sure if the same can be accomplished.

If there is a way to do this, can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks
Tim
