Hello,

I am trying to find a way for an automatic date stamp to be populated into a field (Col J) in a row when any other cell contained within the same row is changed or modified.

[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif]I know this is easy just haven't figured it out[/FONT]
 

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Are they being changed manually or by formula?

If manually, right-click on the Sheet tab name at the bottom of the screen, select View Code, and paste this VBA code in the resuling VB Editor window.
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

    Dim cell As Range
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
    For Each cell In Target
        Application.EnableEvents = False
        Cells(cell.Row, "J") = Now()
        Application.EnableEvents = True
    Next cell
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    
End Sub
This should do what you want.

This works perfectly. The only thing I see that could be a problem, I just now thought of it, is if I make any changes to any header it is going to change the header I have for that column to the date changed. I should have thought of it.

What rows are you headers in?
We can explicitly exclude certain rows, if you like.

        [COLOR=#ff0000]If cell.Row > 1 Then [/COLOR]Cells(cell.Row, "J") = Now()
        Application.EnableEvents = True
