time and date formula
Hello,
Can someone help me with this one? in Cell A1 I would like to have the current Time and date ( in that order) returned if Cell B1 contains any data text or numbers in it. Otherwise I would like Cell A1 to be blank if B1 is blank. Thank You Brian |
=if(b1="","",now())
Format A1 to include both the time and date: hh:mm:ss mm/dd/yyyy Brian wrote: Hello, Can someone help me with this one? in Cell A1 I would like to have the current Time and date ( in that order) returned if Cell B1 contains any data text or numbers in it.

Thank You
that worked great, One problem is that i did not realize that it does not stay the time originally entered. If I enter data in b1 and hit return the current time is inserted ex 2100 but one minute later if I enter data somewhere else on the sheet, unrelated the A1 cell, the time changes to 2101, how can I make it so that the current time entered acts as a time stamp and does not change?
