You might try this...
=IF(B1<>"",IF(A1="",NOW(),A1),"")
It will only put a date, if you enter a value in B1.
It is intentionally written as a circular reference so you will need to enable iterative calculations under File Option Formulas.
It will remain as long as a value remains in B1. If B1 is erased the date will go back to null (empty) and will automatically update when that empty cell has new data in it... You can change the data but and it will remain the same as long as it is not erased...
Hope that helps.
