    Re: enter to update current time

    First go to file/options/formulae and enable "ITERATIVE CALCULATIONS".

    Then use this formula in F2:
    =IF(G2="","",IF(F2="",NOW(),F2))

    Format G2 as time. It will show blank until something is entered in G2. A time will appear. If you overtype the entry in G2, the time will not change. If you delete the value in G2 and then type a new entry, the time will update.

    If you are still using Excel 2003 (as your profile states),


    Go to Menu > Tools > Options > Calculation Tab
    Check Iterative Calculation box.
