Greetings,

Column A shows Previous TimeStamp
Column B shows Current TimeStamp
Column C show Current Status

I'm trying to find a formula to populate for Column C

If time stamps are the same, it should say – No Change
If time stamps are different, it should say – Updated
If Current time stamps is blank it should say - Deleted

Sample Data

No that doesn't work, it populates for the Deleted item but not for the No Change and Updated, it remains blank

Formula to place in cell C2 and copy down:
Excel Formula:
=IF(TRIM(B2)="","Deleted",IF(B2=A2,"No Change","Updated"))

But did the downloaded example work in your worksheet?

You need to check that the entry is not text.

Not necessarily. Only they know the format of the data that can be in there.
It may not be a concern.

If they are TimeStamps added via VBA code, you can be pretty confident that they will always be valid date/time entries.
