    Cool Automatically change date when a cell value is changed

    How can I enter a specific value in one cell and have it enter the date that value was changed in another cell?

    search the forum for "date stamp" or "time stamp". There are a gazillion samples already posted.

    That requires VBA. For instance, a very basic macro to watch column A and put a date in column B:

    How/Where to install the macro:

    1. Open up your workbook
    2. Right-Click on the sheet tab
    3. Select View Code to open the sheet module
    4. Copy and Paste in your code (given above)
    5. Get out of VBA (Press Alt+Q)
    6. Save as a macro-enabled workbook

    Now the code is active. Each change in column A will update a date stamp in column B.
