I need to have the current date & time entered automatically in columns A & B, only as data is entered in column C. Is this possible?
Thanks

Hi Jeff

Try this =IF(C1&LT;&GT;"",NOW(),"")
You just need to format columns A & B as Date or Time.

Try these:
Column a: =IF(C1&LT;&GT;"",NOW(),"")
Column b: =IF(C1&LT;&GT;"",NOW(),"")

Format cells in col a to be Date
Format Cells in col b to be time
(both in your preferred format)
Although these may update each time you open the
sheet... If you need one that stays the same
afterwords it's doable, but more complex...

Good luck,
Matt

Thanks guys,
I should have also added that I need the date & time to be saved when a value in entered in cell c and not update everytime additional cells in c are filled in.
thanks
