I currently have a workbook that when data is entered in column A it will return a time stamp in column I with the help of the if statement. This works great however it makes my workbook very slowwwww. Is there another way or a VBA code that could do this same thing that could improve my workbook?

Current formula

=IF(A1<>"",IF(I201<>"",I1,NOW()),"")

Excel Facts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.

The way you have written the code
Code:
    If Not Intersect(Target, Range("G1:G1000")) Is Nothing Then
        Target.Offset(0, -2) = Now
    End
It is looking for a change in column G, and putting the timestamp in column E.

I am putting data into A column and want to return timestamp to G column. Here is my current code. Thanks for all of your help I am new to this VBA codes.

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'    On Error Resume Next
    If Not Intersect(Range("A3:A1000"), Target) Is Nothing Then
      Target.Worksheet.Unprotect Password:="RCFD"
      Target.Locked = True
      Target.Worksheet.Protect Password:="RCFD"
   ElseIf Not Intersect(Target, Range("G1:G1000")) Is Nothing Then
      Target.Worksheet.Unprotect Password:="RCFD"
      Target.Offset(0, -2) = Now
      Target.Worksheet.Protect Password:="RCFD"
   End If
 End Sub

In that case try
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'    On Error Resume Next
    If Not Intersect(Range("A3:A1000"), Target) Is Nothing Then
      Target.Worksheet.Unprotect Password:="RCFD"
      Target.Locked = True
      Target.Offset(, 6) = Now
      Target.Worksheet.Protect Password:="RCFD"
   End If
 End Sub
