One of my co-workers is creating a spreadsheet with a list of values in one column and the date when these values changed in another column. Is there a way to code the date column to automatically change to the current date when the value changes? Any help would very much be appreciated.

Hi,

Put this code in the worksheet module where you need the changes tracked & the date recorded ( let me know if you'd like more explination ). It assumes that you want to check for changes in col A ( 1 ) and then record the date in col B.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If ActiveCell.Column = "1" Then
ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 1).Value = Now()
End If
End Sub
