Hi I have the folwing code to enter a time stamp when a cell is changed , is there a way of deleting the time stamp if the cell is empty?

SQL:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim myTableRange As Range
Dim myDateTimeRange As Range
Dim myUpdateRange As Range

Set myTableRange = Range("B2:C10")

If Intersect(Target, myTableRange) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

Set myDateTimeRange = Range("D" & Target.Row)
Set myUpdatedRange = Range("E" & Target.Row)

If myDateTimeRange.Value = "" Then
   myDateTimeRange.Value = Now
   
   End If
   
 myUpdatedRange.Value = Now


End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
How about
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim myTableRange As Range
Dim myDateTimeRange As Range
Dim myUpdateRange As Range

Set myTableRange = Range("B2:C10")

If Intersect(Target, myTableRange) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

Set myDateTimeRange = Range("D" & Target.Row)
Set myUpdatedRange = Range("E" & Target.Row)

If myDateTimeRange.Value = "" Then
   myDateTimeRange.Value = Now
   
   End If
   
 myUpdatedRange.Value = Now
If Target.Value = "" Then Range("D" & Target.Row).Resize(, 2).Value = ""

End Sub
