I have an excel sheet that tracks documents that have been reviewed by project managers. When a PM reviews a document they select "Yes" from a drop down (only way i could figure out to limit data entry). What I am looking to do now is two seperate actions.
1. If "Yes" is in Cell D23 (the whole range is D23:D114 then I would like a current date entered into Cell E23 (whole range is E23:E114)
2. If "Yes" is in Cell D23 then I would like Excel to add the computer login (not the excel username) into Cell C23 (whole range is C23:C114)

I can get a date by using the following formula but it changes everytime the file is opened. I need the date to remain the same.

=IF(D25="Yes", NOW(),"")

I also managed to get a username to populate but I cannot find the forum where I got the instruction. What happens is that when I type =User in a cell it returns the username, so I've hidden "=USER" by making the text colour white in an empty cell where no input is likely to occur. However, it changes to the current system user each time the file is opened. I'd like it to remain the same after the first entry.

I'm new to VBA and still figuring out the power of formulas in excel so appreciate any and all help!
 
Do you have any merged cells?

Excel Facts

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
Ok, how about
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
   If Target.CountLarge > 1 Then Exit Sub
   If Not Intersect(Target, Range("D23:D114")) Is Nothing Then
      If Target.Value = "Yes" Then
         Me.Unprotect "Pword"
         Target.Offset(, 1).Value = Date
         Target.Offset(, -1).Value = Environ("username")
         Target.Offset(, -1).Resize(, 3).Locked = True
         Me.Protect "Pword"
      End If
   End If
End Sub
