Default if data in one cell, then date in adjacent cell

column A is for date and column B is for data entry. I want column A to
populate with date when dat is entered into the adjacent cell in column B.

Currently, in column A, I have:
=if(b10,today(),"").

The date does populate when I enter data in column B BUT every day I proceed
down column B and enter data, the date changes in every cell in column A to
the SAME DATE.
How can I have the date stay at the date on whcih the data was entered?
thanks! jane

Jane, I'm sorry. Think I gave you the wrong lead earlier

Try instead JE's "DateTimeStamp Macro" at his page:
http://www.mcgimpsey.com/excel/timestamp.html
(Scroll down the page)

Good luck !

In case needed,
here's a sample implementation using JE's code:
http://cjoint.com/?loeJIL0Zht
Date_Time_Stamp_Jane_wks.xls

When you input entries into A2:A10,
the date/time stamp will be logged into col B
(when you press ENTER to confirm the input)
