Automatic Date entry Help

[ozstephan]

Hi:
I have a s/s which I am developing. What I would like to do is have a cell where it is updated with todays date when someone makes a change to the row.

e.g. I want cell B3 to show the date that row 3 was last updated. e.g2 When I change cell G3, B3 will show the date it was updated.

Hope some out there can help. Thanks everyone

I'm not sure if you can do this using a formula with iteration increased or not. Irregardless, I think I would just stick to using a VBA code solution. The example that you can download watches all cells in columns C to IV. This range is named. See the explanation in the code below...

This code belongs in the worksheet class module that we are considering.

something like;

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
if target.column=2 then exit sub
Cells(Target.Row, 2) = Date
End Sub
