    Copying today's date into cell when multiple data is entered into adjacent cell

    Hi,

    I use a macro to copy data from one sheet to another entering data into multiple cells at a time, I need to enter the current date using vba into column C only when data is entered into adjacent cells in column B,D,E,F,G or H.

    Can anyone help with this?

    Thanks

    I thought I would just add, I only need the code to follow the data down column B. The previous dates would need to remain static of course, so formulas are no use.

    This doesn't appear to work or at least I can't get it to. I've attached a copy of the worksheet to help you understand what I require. It includes a macro that links to a command button on another sheet that copies data(I haven't included the other worksheet but you should be able to understand what I am trying to do).

    I hope that helps.

    Thanks

    Try as I understand puts today's date in column B.
    I put the range from 2 to 50 line edit.

    Re: Copying today's date into cell when multiple data is entered into adjacent cell

    When I transfer the data it only captures the date in the first cell, the date is to be captured in column C. I am copying data over using the command button on sheet 'League' to sheet 'Data'. I'm not sure whether that is causing the problem or not. I've attached all sheets. Do you mind having a look at it for me?

    Thanks for your help.

    try to see if it works.
    I also eliminated the flickering of the video running macro.

    Is it possible to get the date to copy in column S also?

    The dates change each today & need to remain static so a formula unfortunately won't do the job

    Sorry, you must also indicate the date in column S?
    Have you used the formula that I sent you? The date remains static as in column C.
    The date is shown in column C and column S of the sheet "data".
    Maybe I did not understand your request?

    I did try this but it gives an error and doesn't allow me to apply it ("The formula you typed contains an error")

    Let me return to your file as explained above and the formula in column S.
