Automatic date, but after a dropdown selection is made, not before

Is there something that I can add to this code to make it trigger the automatic date after the selection is made (I have dropdown selections in A) in the target cell rather than just when you click the cell? So in other words: I can just click cell A and the automatic date will show up 11 columns to the right. I want the dropdown selection to be made before the date shows up.

HTML Code: 

Thanks, but no luck, it continues to put date into L when you click cell A. No entry in A was required.

Ah yes this works fine when I run it by itself... but now I'm trying to integrate your code with an existing Private Sub Worksheet_Change and your code doesn't do its job when combined. I've included it below, any suggestions?

HTML Code: 

      If Cell.Column = 1 Then 
         Cell.Offset(0, 11) = Date
      ElseIf Cell.Column = 17 Or Cell.Column = 19 Then
         Cell.Offset(0, 1) = Date
      End If

Thanks for the try but this doesn't work, ElseIf I think is giving me problems.

Can you be more specific about what doesn't work? Does it still work for changes to dropdowns in Column A? Does it halt with an error? What does it do? I am willing to test and correct if you provide your file.

Thanks for your questions. Here is the code that works to provide auto date in Cell L when an entry is made in A (and code for the auto hyperlink):

HTML Code: 

As you know I'm trying to add auto date for other areas on the sheet. So here's what it looks like when I added your changes:

HTML Code: 

When I add an entry to Cell A, Q, and S It says, "Compile error: For without next"

In the process of adding my code you removed the line

Next Cell

It should go immediately after the

End If

I get the same error message...maybe I'm still doing something wrong....but here it is:

HTML Code: 

Oh the error this time actually says: Compile error Next without For

The error messages are accurately describing what's wrong. I don't know how you managed to do this while adding line, but now you've deleted the line

   For Each Cell In Target

For me to be of any further help I would need you to attach your file.

Ok sorry...I tried this again and the error is "Compile error: Else without If" and the row that is highlighed in the Visual Basic viewer is the ElseIf Line.

HTML Code: 

I am sorry to be blunt but every time you fix one error you are changing something else that causes another error. You need to change one thing at a time. In this case you merged the If...Then line with the line following it, causing this latest error.
