Hey guys, i realize this is an old thread but the macros that have been posted here have been extremely helpful. I was wondering if you guys could help tailor the code a tad to fit my data sheet. I have data in columns from A-G and then more data in columns I-Q, and was ideally wanting to have the same "date modified" column updated automatically when any of the other columns are updated.

Welcome to the Board!

I split this post off and put it in its own thread. It is usually better to post your question to a brand new thread than it is to post on to an old existing thread. Then it will appear in the "Unanswered threads" list for all to see. You can always provide a link back any other threads that might be helpful, like this: Auto Update Last Modified date when row is edited

Regarding your question, you see to imply that you are already using a version of code. Could you post your current code here for us to see? We can help you modify it.
See here on how to post your VBA code to the thread so it is in a nice, readable format: How to Post Your VBA Code

Also, you never mentioned what column you want the date stamp to be posted to.

If, for example, you wanted to exclude column 1 (headers) and you want the Date stamp in column Z, something like this should work:
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    
'   Exit if more than one cell updated at once
    If Target.CountLarge > 1 Then Exit Sub
    
'   Exit it update prior to row 2 (exclude header)
    If Target.Row < 2 Then Exit Sub
    
'   Exit if column is column H or after column Q
    If Target.Column = 8 Or Target.Column > 17 Then Exit Sub
    
'   Update column Z with Date stamp
    Cells(Target.Row, "Z") = Date
    
End Sub
I documented the code so you can see what is happening with each line, and should be able to edit it to meet your needs.
