freezing dates
Hi Guys
I need to get excel to enter to-days date and then freeze this date so is does not update later. I dont want to copy-paste special-values. I need to have it in a function statement. I tried =IF(C17="not completed","",TEXT(TODAY(),"d/mm/yyyy;@")) but it still updates even though the cell format is text. Bob Phillips was helpfull byt it still doesnt work Any other suggestions please? Thanks. |
