My problem is everytime a cell is updated the ticket number changes if time as gone by. I have been trying to figure out an if function, but I have faild so for. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
Do a Board Search for Time Stamp. Short of a keyboard shortcut (CTRL+;), you'll need some VBA. That topic will turn up plenty of relevant examples.
