To Do List

I have a very simple To Do sheet. Cells B1-B40 are for the date the task is entered and Cells C1-C40 are for tasks. I would like the date cell in Column B to be blank until a task is entered in the adjacent cell in Column C, at which time it changes to today's date. Then I would like the date to remain unchanged until the task is removed or changed. If the task is cleared, the date cell again becomes blank and the cells are reusable for another task. I know that this requires VB code, but I have no idea where to begin. Sounds like it should be simple, but I've driven myself crazy trying to figure it out.

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
Shouldn't need VBA - try something on the lines of

B2=IF(ISBLANK(C2),"",TEXT(TODAY(),"dd-mm-yy"))

Chris,
Thanks for the reply. Maybe I am doing something wrong, but I can't get that code to work. I also don't want the entry date to change when the day of the month changes. It should remain the entry date until the task is deleted or edited.
