I have the following formula set up so that when cell A4 is populated B4 is date stamped and if A4 is blank B4 is blank. I also want the date to not change once entered. When I put in the formula I get a circular reference error. Not sure what I am doing wrong...

=IF(A4<>"",IF(B4<>"",B4,TODAY()), "")

Any hep would be appreciated..
 
I have the code working with the exception that it always returns a time of midnight. I've tried different time formats with no success. Any ideas?

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
Have you made any changes/edits to the original code I gave you?

Can you post the code you are currently using?

No. I am applying it to another sheet and am having the issue.
Can you post the code for that sheet, and any other event procedure code that you may have running on that sheet?
