Hello


I'm using a value of an external online source in excel, which changes everytime the value on that website changes. This way I can calculate my daily profit or loss (investing). The problem is that, when i'm for example 5 days later, my profits of day 1 change according to the value online at this present moment. That's annoying because I can never rely on the older values because they keep changing. How can I make sure when some values are calculated, they don't change anymore? I tried the:


IF (certain cell=notblank (for example when I add a new date);block this cell from changing;formula)


but that didn't really work, or I did it wrong.


Could someone help me?
Thanks

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
