Hello, I need one of my cells to put a date stamp on that row every time a value is entered. Example every time a value is entered in cell D14, Cell AF14 will automatically put today’s date and keep that date forever. I tried the following formula =IF (D14,TODAy(),"") but every time I open my spreadsheet it changes to the current date. Please Help.
Thanks in advance

This can't be done without code since, as you noted, the TODAY and NOW formulas are dynamic. Have a look at faq707-1657.

You can enter =TODAY() or NOW(), then instead of hitting enter, press F9 then enter. It will put today's date in, but as a constant instead of a dynamic.
