Hello first time poster here, I have a bit of a head scratcher here. I am trying to save data based on a time stamp that it was entered. I know if I where to use VBA it would be a simple matter of creating an array and updating it at certain time stamps. However I would like to avoid using macros since the way I use this spreadsheet is highly custom and my co-workers most likely would mess with it.

Here is an example of what I have currently.

Saved ValueTime StampUser imputed value
2/9/2108
2/10/2018
2/11/2018
2/12/2018
2/13/2018
2/14/2018
2/15/2018

In the cell with the saved values I have this if statement running so far,

IF(TODAY()<=B3,IF(TODAY()>B2,D2,""),"")

However with this statement the cell will go blank after the day has past.

I guess my question is, is there any way to remember a value that was in a cell at a certain point?


I am using excel 2010 with no add ins at the moment.

Thanks.

Customize Quick Access Toolbar. From All Commands, add Speak Cells or Speak Cells on Enter to QAT. Select cells. Press Speak Cells.
Actually figured this one out myself.

The error in my formula was that i was making it go blank if false. What I needed to do was to reference itself.

Here is the formula that works

IF(TODAY()<=B3,IF(TODAY()>B2,D2,""),A2)

This only works if you have iterations on and maximum of 1.
