    Formula Needed to auto populate current date when text entered into a cell

    I simply need to auto populate the current date in the format 11/15/13 when any text is entered into another cell.

    B29:B39 = current date to be populated (formula)

    C29:39 = any text

    Re: Formula Needed to auto populate current date when text entered into a cell

    What do you mean by "current" date? If you put =TODAY() in a cell, it will give you today's date. However, if you open the file in the future, that would automatically update to show the day that you opened it. I suspect you want a time-stamp (or static date) in those cells which does not change, and a formula can't give you that.

    Hope this helps.

    usually vba is used on this type of problems (pasting the time stamp) in the cell


    but for experiment try this one.

    go to option->formulas -> check iteration.
    in B29 creating a circular reference...
    =IF(C29="","",IF(B29="",TODAY(),B29))
    I think people forget the word "THANK YOU!!!!" Do you still know it???

    Re: Formula Needed to auto populate current date when text entered into a cell

    this seems to work. I am just wondering if the date will stay the same when i open the file on another day.

    thanks

    Also any advice on this problem???

    I would like to count only when "yes" is entered into a cell and to do so on a 24 hour time table with the totals resetting to "0" when a new day starts.
    Also would like to do the same in another total it for the month based on a date format of 11/15/13 from another cell.

    1st: Hour formula:

    B24 = formula
    C29 = where "yes" or 'No" will be entered

    count on a 24hour time table only when "yes" is entered.

    2nd: Monthly Formula:

    Q4 = Formula
    B29 = Date (format is 11/15/13) however if that needs to change let me know.
    C29 = where "yes" or 'No" will be entered

    count when "yes" is entered for that particular month
