Hello dear experts,

I currently need a way to automate timestamps at Excel Online. I have seem tutorials and other posts here at the forum, but they usually both use iteractive self declaring functions, or VBA, both of which I cannot use at excel online. Also, office scripts is not working at the moment for some reason.

With those restrictions, I have to automate the current date in a spreadsheet, as follows:
If a user access the spreadsheet, and changes a certain cell (for example, D15), the cell B3 has to update to the current date. This is so we can can keep track if someone makes changes to a specific process.

As said earlier, that would be "easy" if I had access to most of excel in a desktop, but as I'm stuck with the online/cloud version, it gets tricky. Would it be possible using office scripts only?

Any sugestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
