My worksheet has multiple cells that load a timestamp NOW() based on a formula. When I change one of the cells and load the timestamp into a cell based on the formula, all timestamps change even though the other timestamps have different formulas referring to different cell values. I don't understand why this is happening.
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
How about showing some of these formulas, we don't have a crystal ball.

C6 value is 100.00
D6 formula is "=IF(C6<>C6,"",NOW())

C7 value is 200.00
D7 formula is "=IF(C7<>C7,"",NOW())

When C6 is changed to 150.00, D6 posts the correct timestamp as expected, however, D7 also changes to the same exact timestamp as if C7 was also changed.

NOW() is a Volatile function. It will recalculate whenever a change happens event anywhere on the sheet.
