    Possible to have cell return date and/or time another cell was first edited/written t

    I'd like my rows of info have a time stamp of when they were created, based on a particular cell I imagine how this would work if possible. Like the cell in column B it would equal/output the first time the cell in column A was first edited. Thanks

    Thanks. Check this out tho:

    http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...=1#post4417825

    my sample file on this page in the 3rd post on the left you can see how I've successfully implemented this formula to return a date when the subject cell had first been edited(today) but when I tried to insert it into the table below(ignore how after pasting the data over from my original file the table disappeared since the formulas and issues remained) the results give you that erroneous 1900 date. Any idea what happened there?

    your formula in C7
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.


    will always return C7 (if I7 is not blank)....zero which in date format is 0/01/1900

    why dont you just get rid of the 2nd IF statement?
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    also i note your using NOW instead of TODAY
    just note now affixes the time as well
