Is there no way to create a timestamp in excel with out using a macro? I really need a timestamp but I have tried using a macro and it just isnt working its more headache than its worth.
 

Excel Facts

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
Enable Iterative Calculation (File > Options > Formulas > Enable Iterative Calculation), and format the date/time cell with a date/time format.

If your data is in A2, and you want the date/time in B2 when something is entered in A2, enter this formula in B2:

=IF(A2="","",IF(B2="",NOW(),B2))

The timestamp will be entered when you enter something in A2, and will remain static if you change other cells. It will change if you delete A2, and re-enter something in A2.

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)


 ActiveSheet.Unprotect "Bakery"
 
   If Not Intersect(Target, Range("R6:AF75")) Is Nothing Then
      Application.EnableEvents = False
      Cells(Target.Row, 60) = Now
      Application.EnableEvents = True
   ElseIf Not Intersect(Target, Range("AJ6:AX75")) Is Nothing Then
      Application.EnableEvents = False
      Cells(Target.Row, 62) = Now
      Application.EnableEvents = True
      
 ActiveSheet.Protect "Bakery", True, True
      
   End If
End Sub

I was using this but it works great on my computer and then when I move the file to my companies shared drive and try to use it on the computer i need it on it doesnt work im getting so frustrated and all my formulas seem to be working fine on that computer so i think that is more the route I want to go

Well some companies do not allow users to use Excel Vba.
To use the script you have show has to be used on a Workbook that is Macro enabled.
So that may be the problem.
