One way. HTH Otto
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Or IsEmpty(Target.Value) Then Exit Sub
If Target.Column = 21 Or _
Target.Column = 25 Or _
Target.Column = 27 Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Value = 1 Then _
Target.Offset(0, 1).Value = Date
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub

That code will not work in any worksheet or column using the event

Worksheet_General

Private Sub Worksheet_General(ByVal Target As Range) needs to be

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

To work on more columns change the If Not Intersect line to

If Not Intersect(Target, Range("U:U,Y:Y, AA:AA")) Is Nothing Then

Static means "not changing" among other definitions.

Otto's code is fine.

No need to change.......just a different way of doing the same thing.

I find my method saves the IF/OR statements and I'm lazy<g>

The date cell does not contain a formula, just the date. It doesn't change.
