:banghead: I'm trying to do a Timestamp that won't change every time you reopen the workbook :banghead: . In this linked workbook I have "Meeting Date" in column B. Column E is where I want the Timestamp. So, I can get the timestamp to display the date (I added the hh:mm:ss to test), every time I open the workbook, they all change to the current time. I would like that once a timestamp is entered and the file saved and closed, then when it is reopened, the previous timestamps don't change. So entries made on 9/22/18, regardless of when the meeting is, stay as 9/22/18 when the workbook is again opened to add more meeting.
 

Excel Facts

Shade all formula cells
To shade all formula cells: Home, Find & Select, Formulas to select all formulas. Then apply a light fill color.
There are several different ways to create static timestamps that don't change.
Here is a link that shows different ways of accomplishing that: https://excelchamps.com/blog/timestamp/

You can also have ones that are done automatically upon some data being entered. A simple search should return those (there are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of posts on it in this forum).
