Hello,

I use the following formula to copy the value of a cell on a given date, however I want the value to remain there forever more not just the one day.

=IF(TODAY()=DATE(2010,1,31),$D$14,0)

any help appreciated

Thanks

Can't you use >= instead of just =
Once today has passed it will always be true.

No because the value changes on a daily basis.
The sheet calculates total events daily and subtotals them monthly then refreshes every 30 or so days, so I want to capture the total events at the end of each month for comparison to other months.

Can you try this macro? It will run whenever you open the spreadsheet.

Sub Workbook_Open()

' Put the value from D14 into A1 when today equals the date specified
If Date = "10/28/2010" Then Range("A1").Value = Range("D14").Value

End Sub
