    Timestamp / Date Formulas

    Good Afternoon,

    Please can you help.

    I need some help with the following formula.

    =IF(R387="Yes",NOW(),0)

    when true, i want the date to be displayed to be the current date, however, when I open the spreadsheet in future, i do not want the date to update.
    Any ideas?

    Tom

    Thank you.

    Re: Date Formulas

    Would this formula work,

    =IF(R560="Yes",NOW(),"")

    Or will it update the date the following day?

    Appreciate the help and guidance.

    Re: Date Formulas

    =IF(R560="Yes",NOW(),"")

    This will update with ANY workbook change

    Also, Please upload a sample of your workbook, not a picture of your data. Pictures are pretty much impossible to edit, and no-one wants to re-type your data for you
    Also, not all members can upload picture files (Company firewalls and stuff)

    Your workbook should show a small desensitized example of the data you are working with and a manual mockup of the expected results.
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
