Hi

Please assist.

I have 5 different values available from a drop down menu for column A. ( To Start, In Progress, Complete, Delayed, Postponed.) When a value is chosen for that cell in column A, I need that days date to be filled in, in column B.
The date when the cell was updated and that date will be static, it must not move on. (The same formulae will run down the rows in the spread sheet. A3-A10 and B3-B10)

Please assist
Cheers

Save Often
If you start asking yourself if now is a good time to save your Excel workbook, the answer is Yes
The same formulae will run down the rows in the spread sheet. A3-A10 and B3-B10)
This sort of thing does not lend itself to formulas as they will update as the date changes. Try this Worksheet_Change event vba code with a copy of your workbook. To implement ..
1. Right click the sheet name tab and choose "View Code".
2. Copy and Paste the code below into the main right hand pane that opens at step 1.
3. Close the Visual Basic window & test.
4. Your workbook will need to be saved as a macro-enabled workbook (*.xlsm).

VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
  Dim Changed As Range, Cell As Range
 
  Set Changed = Intersect(Target, Range("A3:A10"))
  If Not Changed Is Nothing Then
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    For Each Cell In Changed
      Cell.Offset(, 1).Value = Date
    Next Cell
    Application.EnableEvents = True
  End If
End Sub
