Hi all, I created a spreadsheet that has a date in and a date out columns, the dormula I use on the date column is: =if(d2,TODAY(),""). Formula is in cell j2
PROBLEM IS IT CHANGES THE DATE EVERY DAY! I need a formula that will enter todays date and keep it untill the value in d2 changes(but it won't).

Any help will be greatly appriciated

Simoneonmein, Good afternoon.

Using function TODAY() you obtain a dynamic date. Always.

There are only two ways to obtain a fixed date depending on other situation.
- You TYPE manually the date.

- You use VBA or MACRO to input the date at the desired cell.

I hope it helps.

Thank you, but I managed to use a simple way. Where I give the textboxes commands to go, I gust simply added: ".offset(0, 8) = date" at the end and works every time.

Thanx
