    Retaining the value post it gets calculated by a formula

    I am stuck on a problem from last few days.

    Table Structure
    Module ( Y axis )
    Date ( X axis)

    Everyday, this table gets populated automatically ( based on formula) after i enter certain values in a table present in another worksheet
    12-Jul 13-Jul 14-Jul 15-Jul
    278
    11
    56
    66
    129

    My Formula is SUMIFS(Table3[Executed],Table3[Module],"Screen") - this is for row 1 - it will give me 278.
    and same formula is copied in B2 ( considering 278 as A2)

    Now, nextday, if update table3 with 13-Jul 's data, i'll get correct count for 13-Jul, but data for 12-Jul will also get updated ( which i dont want)

    I want a mechanism by which i can ensure that the value calculated by formula on 12-Jul should get retained and should not change, once i update data next day.
    is there any way in which i can retain the value once it is calculated by formula ( i do not want formula to caculate the value again, once it is populated by a numerical value)
