    if or statement

    I am trying to have a time cell filled based of off of what is in another cell. I came up with a formula that works until I put more than two conditions in it stops working. Here is my formula:

    =IF(OR(G32=”AV”,G32=”BT”,G32=”DR”,G32=”OT”,G32=”NS”,G32=”RL”,G32=”TA”,G32=”ME”,G32=”VI”),NOW(),””)

    My original formula was:

    =IF(G32="RL",NOW(),"")

    Cell G32 will have one of the listed results typed in and I want this cell to put the time of the entry in as it is being entered and the time will be a static after entry.

    to Fix time stamp

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    Right-click on the sheet tab and "View Code".

    Copy/paste the above into that sheet module.

    When you enter data in any cell in column A, a static date/time stamp goes into
    column B on same row.

    and ...

    =IF(OR(G32="AV",G32="BT",G32="DR",G32="OT",G32="NS",G32="RL",G32="TA",G32="ME",G32="VI"),NOW(),"")

    you have italicised quotes ” ?????

    Hi COURTTROOPER ,

    I do not know how to make the formula to be a static after entry.

    but I have a bit improvement on the formula, as I saw whole formula is refer to same cell.
    you may try to use { and }

    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Re: if or statement

    Thank you for that information. I entered it and I works well for my column "A" to put date into my column "f". I also tried to put it in as:


    but I get an error. I need the first for column "A" to date column "F" then for column "L" to date column "G". I thought I could just copy it again and change the variables but I get the "compile error: ambiguous name detected: Worksheet_change" message. This is what I put in:

    Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
    'when entering data in a cell in Col L
    On Error GoTo enditall
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    If Target.Cells.Column = 1 Then
    n = Target.Row
    If Excel.Range("L" & n).Value <> "" Then
    Excel.Range("G" & n).Value = Now
    End If
    End If
    Thank you for any explanation of what I have done wrong.
