need some tips!

[cjjoo]

this is my problem:


i got worksheets number from 1-30 (days of the month) and in eac
worksheet

the formats are the same. The format look something like this:

unique ID vehicle no date in date out status


in date in,i want to have a formula that automatically insert the dat
when i key

in a vehicle num . The date in will also be the same as the sheet no
so can i use

a indirect formula to return the date

Add this to first date cell and copy down

=IF(B2<>"",DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]
",CELL("filename",A1))+1,99)),"")

sorry but is it possble to make modification of the formula to suit thi
scenario?

the scenario:

vehicle_no date in date out



in your formula the date will be assigned (based on sheet no )if
vehicle_no

has been selected. in my sheets, the outstanding work in day 1 will b
reflected

in day 2 (sheet 2) . So if i key in the vehicle no in day one, th
date_in will be


02/10/2005 and this is not true as the vehicle is dated in o
01/10/2005.

in sheet one

vehicle no date_in date_out action taken
x123 01/10/2005 chang
XXX
y456 01/10/2005 01/10/2005


in sheet two,

vehicle_no date_in date_out action taken
x123 01/10/2005 change yyy
x123 02/10/2005

over here, x123 is not dated_out in sheet one , so x123 will be seen i
sheet two

but if i key in x123 to update the action taken, the date in i
02/10/2005 which in

fact should be 01/10/2005

pls advise..
