time stamp a data entry

[Pete]

I need a function that will post the current date and time
to a cell and then not change, not get updated. This
question is similar to those of Sarah and RickyDee.

You can use a Shortcut for it

you can insert the time like this
CTRL : (colon)

the date like this
CTRL ; (semicolon)

CTRL : (colon) space bar CTRL ; (semicolon)
this will give you both in one cell

Or with VBA

You can do it with the change event of the worksheet
This example will place the date/time in the B column if you change
a cell in the range A1:A20.

Place the code in the Sheet module

Right click on a sheet tab and choose view code
Paste the code there
Alt-Q to go back to Excel


Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Application.Intersect(Range("a1:a20"), Target) Is Nothing Then
Target.Offset(0, 1).Value = Format(Now, "mm-dd-yy hh:mm:ss")
End If
End Sub

For one column
If Target.Column = 1 Then

For one Row
If Target.Row = 1 Then
