Hello Everyone,

I need to create a macro, or formula.
Each time someone enters data in cell A1, A2, A3, etc, insert a timestamp on
the correspondent cell B1,B2,B3, etc. So I can now when the data was added.

Is it possible?

Put the following macro in the worksheet event code area:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Set r = Range("A:A")
If Intersect(Target, r) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target.Offset(0, 1).Value = Date
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub


Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and use:

1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the window
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window

Now try entering material in column A. If you have any concerns, first try
it on a trial worksheet.

If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.


To remove the macro:

1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window
