Hi all,

I have the following bit of code that supplies a time stamp in column Z when the cell in column G is populated:

If Target.Column = 7 Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Cells(Target.Row, 26).Value = Date + Time
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If

I wanted to bypass this code if there is already a value in column Z so if the user alters the value in column G then a new date is not entered in column Z and it stays the same.

Thanks in advance,

Mike
 

Excel Facts

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Change:

Code:
[COLOR=#333333]If Target.Column = 7 Then[/COLOR]


to

Code:
[COLOR=#333333]If Target.Column = 7 and Cells(Target.Row, 26) = "" Then[/COLOR]

maybe:

If Target.Column = 7 Then
If isempty(cells(target.row,"Z")) then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Cells(Target.Row, 26).Value = Date + Time
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
end if

Hi Guys,

thanks very much for your help.

I tried both methods and they both work well.

Personally I prefer Erics method as it seems tidier.

Many thanks again,

Mike
