I'm trying to create and IF formula. What I want it to do it automatically insert the current date into one cell when "x" is typed into a different cell. If it could also insert the time into another cell that would be ideal. Is there any way to do this?! Maybe I can use a different formula instead of an IF formula?? Any ideas?! Thanks!

suppose A1 has x (or not having x) in B1 use this formula
B1 can be copied down


=IF(A1="x",NOW(),"")

format B1 as date and time suitable to you.
