Excel Facts

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)

Assuming that a new record is being created when people are populating the fields you can set the default value from the properties for the date filed to Now(). This will paste the current date, and time, when a new record is created.

If you're in a form, you can put code into the _beforeUpdate event for the other fields that pushes anything you want into any field you wish (like the Now()) value.

_beforeupdate triggers after you enter and actually change a value but before your focus leaves the field.
