I have spent several hours searching the internet for a solution to no avail.

I have an external reference (Daily Exchange Rate) that updates daily. I have a column with a daily date in each row for the entire year. I wish to make the cell next to "today's" date in that column reflect today's updated rate without changing previous rates from earlier dates. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
I can use this formula, but it gives a "false" for previous date matches. This is where I am looking to keep yesterday's and previous matches so I can use that data for lookup values for a specific date.

=IF([@Date]=TODAY(),IF([@Date]=E4,C4,""))

=IF(AND([@Date]=TODAY(),[@Date]=$E$4,$C$4,""),"") gives #Value !

Can anyone help me with this?

=IF(E337=TODAY(),LOOKUP(E4,'Daily Exchange Rate'!$E$8:$E$372,'Daily Exchange Rate'!$F$8:$F$372),****)

**** is the previous date cell with that date's Daily Exchange Rate. Because today no longer equals the previous date I want the previous date's exchange rate to not change. Does this make sense?
