Hello The397Life,
You haven't given us much to work with but here's a starting point:-
This can be done with an event code as follows:-
To implement this code:-
- Right click on the sheet tab.
- Select "View Code" from the menu that appears.
- In the big white code field that then appears, paste the above code.
Hence, each time an entry is made in a cell in Column L and the User then clicks away from the cell (or presses enter or down arrow), the corresponding cell in Column J will show the current date and time.
I hope that this helps.
Cheerio,
vcoolio.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Target, Columns("L:L")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Target.Value <> "" Then
Target.Offset(, -2) = Format(Now)
End If
End Sub

Hello The397Life,
As far as I can tell, you're in Australia so the standard format for Excel, based on local settings, is DD/MM/YYYY. You may want to check your machine's settings.
However, you can try this to see if it helps to correct the date:-
Change this line of code:-

Here's a link to a sample workbook showing how the minor change above works. Just make an entry in Column L:-

I put the code in the worksheet and it did display the date in the cell (Month/Date/Year). When clicked into the cell I could see 8/03/2021 6:42:18 PM. But it would not display this. Also I am in a country that puts the date Day/Month/Year. One questions:
1. How do I display Day/Month/Year and time?
