Using this code in VBA for an .xlsm workbook for a =LastChange formula that gives the last date and time any modification to the workbook was made:

Code:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
    ThisWorkbook.Names("LastChange").RefersTo = Now
End Sub

I added the code to ThisWorkbook View Code, then type =LastChange in a cell and get #NAME?.

I have to be missing a step here. Any help?

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
I think what you want is either

ThisWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="LastChange", RefersTo:= "=NOW()"

or

ThisWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="LastChange", RefersTo:= "=" & Now

I overwrote the old code with this one. I think they both work the same. The stupid mistake I made was not selecting and naming the range to be monitored "LastChange" :eeek: It is working now hehe
