I am currently using Excel 2007 and I am looking for an easier way to enter the system date and time into a cell. I am aware of the MS-Excel shortcuts but work in an environment where data capturers still often get it wrong.
Is it possible to use a Excel function/button to auto insert the system date and time by clicking on a cell/button or Alternatively use a calendar to do so.
I want a bit of code so that when I insert data into column 'C', it inserts today's date into column 'H' - in the same row. (So when I insert data into C22, the code inserts the date in H22). I want to do it with VBA code rather than an in cell function.
if I add data into C2 then the current date will appear in A2. I also don't want the date to change every time the project is opened.
Thus,
If I enter $32,500 into C2 - The current date (4-Dec) would appear in A2.
then if I close excel and I open it tomorrow, A2 would still read as 4-Dec, while if I enter $23.52 into C3, the current date (5-Dec) would appear in A3.
- would need to be able to enter multiple entries on one day as well.
I would like the current date inserted automatically into a blank cell when I click on it. It will always be in the same column, but a different date on each row for that particular entry. I used to use datepicker.xla--loved it, worked great. But now I get an erroe message when I installed and tried to run it on a new pc. Does excel come with a drop-down calendar you can pick a date?
What I am wanting to do is have excel insert a static date automatically. I know ctrl + : inserts date and ctrl shft + ; inserts time. I want excel to do this automatically. The now() and today() functions auto update the date. I dont want the date auto updated when the file is reopened after it is saved. The file is a template so I guess what I am really wanting is a automatic date/time stamp when the user saves the file so when it is emailed and reopened the date does not auto update.
I am having a very difficult time making this work, if there is anyone who can assist me, I would greatly appreciate the assistance. You can see below what I am trying to do. The entries between the last cells H,3 & K,3 just contain data that is not affected by the rest of the sheet functions.
Cell one (A,3) has a drop down menu for vehicle status. (B,3) vehicle number (C,3) Drop down vehicle type. (D,3) is for dept. (E,3) Date/Time stamp auto generated from (A,3) entry. (Vehicle Status) (F,3) is POC. (G,3) Phone/email. (H,3) Date & Time stamp out of shop. (This cell will recieve the date & Time Stamp from entry of work done in (K,3)
There is a standard Excel macro to add the current date and time to a spreadsheet. But how do you add those to another macro and have them populate the date and time as of when activate the second macro? I have the following code (only the part that is applicable for this question):
if there is a simple way to get the GMT equivalent in vba code. I am being a date/timestamp but realized that timezone differences may complicate matters, therefore I would like to "standardize" the timestamps into their GMT equivalent rather then using the computer's local time. I had been using
I need to insert text at the curson position in a text box on a VBA form. I know how to make the button not take the focus; I just need to know how to pass the cursor a timestamp.
I want to put a permanent date & time stamp in cell A1 (date) and cell A2 (Time) when cell A3 is populated by any character which would be an inputters initials.
I'm thinking that it will be an "IF" statement but then I am getting confused about how I make it not update when the spreadsheet is opened at a later date and time.
I think there's a way to use Excel to automatically create a 5-day calendar. Maybe a macro?
The date format must be dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm and it must be in text format. If its June 9, 2012 at 6pm - the correct format is: 12/06/2012 18:00
I want to post 5 times a day: 09:05, 9:55, 10:45, 16:55 and 18:00.
Column A is where the date and time goes. Ideally, I'd enter in A1 the start date and then run a macro that would automatically populate the next 5 consecutive days with the specific times above (so 25 rows total in column A).
I have to save the file as a csv file, so the date and time format has to be in text or I'll get an upload error in Hootsuite.
I am trying to get excel to auto populate the current date and time each time I make an entry, however, each time i make an additional entry the current date and time populates but it changes all the prior entry's with that current date and time.I am trying to keep a log of all the times I make a new entry. Correct formula that will work?
Let's say I have column C blank, but every time it's filled in with something I want column A to be today's date and B to be current time. Unfortunately, the functions NOW() and TODAY() don't give me what I want. They get recalculated every time that I update the spreadsheet. Another thing that I can do is just press ctrl+shift+; to generate a non changing date/time, but I want it to happen automatically (being super lazy).
Does anyone know how to make a form control (ex combobox, textbox) have multiple columns so that it would behave like 4 controls in one. What im going for is a control that looks like the control used when setting windows system time "12:30:00 AM" So "12" is in col 1, ":" is in col 2, "30" is in col 3, ":" is in col 4, "00" is in col 5, and "AM" is in col 6.
I'm working on a spreadsheet which needs to refer to the current date. My PC checks the system date/time daily. Can I assume that if an end-user regularly connects to the internet, their PC will have a correct system date? Does anyone know if Win2000 or Win98 automatically update the system date/time when connected to the internet?
I have created a break tracker where i have to key in time manually. What i want is to click the desired label field and there will a button next to it which will deliver system time on that particular field while i will click on it. And i also want a working button for date as well. 2 separate button 1 for time and 1 for date.
In Excel sheet1 Column G has Names(John,Augutus,Jennie ect..) In Coulmn H i need to daily update the Present or Absent status, once i update the status i need Coulmn I to automatically fetch the System name and Column J should update with Time and date..
I’m trying to program a specific label within a userform to continuously display the system time… I’ve tried to code something that loops while the userform.visibile property is true. This obviously just hangs the system… Is there an easier (or any other way) to do this?
Now I want to make a horizontal bar, that divides the bar into a 24-hour period (e.g. gray background) and fills the gaps that the system is in use with green parts, so in this example, the whole bar is gray and the part from 03:00am-03:10am+04:00am-04:20am+09:00am-09:04am + 01:00pm-02:05pm is filled in with green.
I have a list with about 300 of those jobs, so it would be nice if I could automate this. How to do this in Excel/VBA ?
I am trying to auto generate a calendar based on two drop down menus - Month and Year.
Once the month and year is selected I want to import all work orders onto the calendar based first on the "Labor Name" found in the list of work tab, then assign each work order for that labor name to the respective date on the calendar for the month.
How do you convert a range of dates in this format: 39843 (i.e today 30th of Jan 2009). To text like: 20080130. Secondly, For the same date, how do you make the weeknum function give answer '05' and not just '5'
i woul like to make a macr which will check the system date on the computer to see what month it is and the populate cells A14 - A44 with the dates from the 1st till the end of the month.
