I'm trying to get the current date entered automatically in a shee
that is used to record orders. One row is used for each order and th
current date is required in column J for each order.

Is there any way to use TODAY() Function, so that it records
today's date via formula, but does not change the order dates entere
on previous days?

Appreciate any help on this one.
Thanks,
Ric

Automatic = VBA

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
'when entering data in a cell in Col I
On Error GoTo enditall
If Target.Cells.Column < 10 Then
n = Target.Row
If Excel.Range("I" & n).Value <> "" Then
Excel.Range("J" & n).Value = Now
End If
End If
enditall:
End Sub

The code assumes that cell in column I would be last cell to be filled when
doing up orders. Adjust to suit.

To use, right-click on sheet tab and "View code". Copy/paste code in there.
