    Keeping the Previous Value of a Cell

    Hi,

    I have two cells: Current and Previous.
    I would like to set up Previous so that it retains the previous value of Current whenever Current changes.

    For example: If Current is 2 and I change Current to 3, Previous would be set to 2
    Formulas would be the preferred solution but I am open to any thoughts. Thanks!

    It's possible with formulas but you need to use several intermediate formulas to get to the final result.

    There is a sample file here:

    Scroll down about 1/4 of the way and look for: Previous.zip
