Timestamp

Hi,

Would anyone be able to tell me how to make the following work:

I'd like to be able to click a certain cell - let's say B5 - and then every time that cell is pressed, a list of the time and dates appear descending down another column (column J for example)?

Any response would be most useful,

Thank you!

Welcome to the Board!

What exactly would they be clicking on in cell B5? Are you going to add a Command Button to that cell they can click on?

If so, you can simply add some VBA code to that button that will add your DateStamp, i.e.

Sub MyTimeStamp()
    Cells(Rows.Count, "J").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0) = Now()
End Sub

That sounds good, thanks.

Unfortunately when I try to add a command button from the developer tab, a pop-up appears saying 'cannot insert object' - any ideas why??

Did you try adding a "Form Control" Command Button or an "ActiveX" Command Button?
I believe that error happens often with "ActiveX" controls, but shouldn't for a "Form Control".
A Form Control Command Button should be sufficient here.

Brilliant. That works perfectly. Thank you very much!

You are welcome.
