Automatic Time Stamp Cell Based On Adjacent Cell
Oct 19, 2007
I am looking to add a function to a current spreadsheet that writes the current date to a cell when another is updated. The sheets function is to have a user record when a particular action has been completed and then remind them after a given amount of time. The user is faced with an option to input a "1" to essentially "start the timer" and then the date that is automatically input by the code will be used to compare with the current date. I have tried the following on the Workbook_SheetChange sub
If ActiveCell.Column = 9 And ActiveCell.Value <> 1 Then
ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 2).Value = Date
End If
But cannot figure out how to eliminate user error. Let me explain. If a user enters a value (will only ever be a 1 to indicate "yes") into column 9 then the date appears in the correct place (two cells to the left) If however a user deletes a value then the date will update one cell too high!? I also thought of using a cell based if statement (if j7 = 1 then today() else "" but this only updates with todays value each time you open where I want the date to stay as the day the cell was updated. The date is going to be used as a way of working out when to change the original value of the cell in column 9 to "".

I am trying to automatically capture and record the date of a cell's last change in value (date stamp). I have an item price list and if a particular cell gets updated I want to automatically record the date of change of that cell. I realize that after I change cell A1 I could tab to cell B1 and enter Ctrl+; but if I have a hundred new prices to enter I don't want to do that (plus me or the data entry person might forget).....

I copied the code that was used to inserting the date when the cell next to it was updated, the original post can be found here: [URL]
The Code below will check a range of cells between c3 and c20 and if I make a change to the value in any of them, then the cell to the right of them will have the date inserted. I've had to modify the original code from the other post a little bit to stop an error appearing when I insert a new Row:
[Code] ....
On the first example that was posted it all ran ok until until I attempted to insert a new Row, then it would put the date into about 5 of the cells to the right of where it should do and I received an error message with the usual Debug stuff on it. It would also delete my column descriptions that I had on Row 2.
Would it be possible for it to not auto insert the date on any new blank row that I insert?
What would be the correct range for me to get the code to work on c3:infinity....
Is it also only possible to enable macro's and code like this in the current document instead of every document that you load through excel.

I am looking for a command that will time stamp a cell with just the time, not the date. I've already looked at =Now(), but that, unfortunately, includes the date as well. I just need the 24hr value.

I have a large number of cells with time stamps: 00:07:45 (hh:mm:ss)
What I would like to do is just show the mm - but NOT format the cell as [mm], just as a general / number '7'.......

I have a userform that completes various functions and updates cells when a single button is clicked. Can I add code to the the end to enable a cell to be updated with the time and date, say cell A1 for example? Also is it possible to have the (Windows) username in another cell (all users will be unique) so it will save Jo Bloggs for example? I know this is possible as a Worksheet function:

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.

Been racking brain, searching through the forum here, and my Excel 2003 Bible all day trying to figure out this problem to no avail. I would like to clear the contents of any cell in a given range if the cell immediately to the right of is formatted as bold.

A1 values ("DBR","BPR","SLR","SKR") is a list of selectable values. if the condition is falls then B1 should be normal (white color cell) with 0 in it.

There's got to be a way to do this (mail merge style perhaps...) I would like to insert the entry/ies under a heading in a table in one worksheet whenever that heading matches the data entered in a separate worksheet.
Presently I can find no way to do this in Excel.

I am trying to have one cell automaticall input infromation based on another cell. For example, if A1 = 10, then I want B1 to automatically equal 20.
The formula I am using in B1 is as follows - =if(A1="10","20","")
I have 2 problems though:
1st - I don't want to put the furmula in any cell because other information is put in there also. I tried putting it in conditional format but I don't think it is meant for such usage. Also, I already have something in data validation. so I can't put anything there because to my knowledge you can only put one validation per cell.
2nd - I have multiple numbers (around 7) that I need to be automatically inputed along the columns.

How can I add a date stamp that will populate a field when text is entered into another cell but will not change every time I re-open the sheet. I have been using =if(B4="",NOW()) which changes each time though and as soon as text is entered it disappears. I want to capture the actual date that someone enters text into a cell and save that date in another cell???

I need to lock the cells in a certain column based on the value of the right side cell. If the value of the right side cell is "Slave" it should lock the cell, otherwise it should remain unlock. I read many codes in the internet but none of them worked properly for me.

I would like to have a cell automatically change text based on a conditional formatting formula. When the cell color is red, or the formula is true, then display the word "Expired". Can a formula be devised using results from conditional formatting?
This is being used for expired CPR 2-year certifications. When the certification expires, the cell currently turns red (based on a cell formula) and I would also like the word "Expired" to replace the date.
My condition formula is: =TODAY()>A2 + 730

I am trying to get the sumproduct of a column of amounts based on the adjacent cells ID code.
For example column B will have codes 1FHD, 2FHS, 3FHG etc. these codes will be mixed otherwise I would have just did a sum of the cells.
Column C would have dollar amounts.

How would I make cells in column A to C be highlighted yellow, of which is 0.02 in value be higher than in compared with the adjacent cell in column D ? It is easy to use condition format function to setup the conditions in 1 row. The problem is there are thousands rows in the sheet(of which represents an individual file by each row), and need to have the conditioning format applied on each row independently. How can it be done w/o the need to have format painter applied line by line, of which is a very time consuming.

I have been reading through trying to find a similar post but the nearest i could find was one dealing with numbers rather than text. This is how the workbook looks.
Column A contains a list of numbers based on vehicle types. Column B contains a list of vehicle names.
A B
1 Car,
1 Taxi,
2 Bus,
2 Lorry,
3 Skateboard,
3 Bike,
1 Motorcycle,
What I am looking for is the best way to combine the text from column B depending on the value of column a. the finished results would then end up as: "Car,Taxi,Motorcycle,", or "Bus,Lorry," etc. This is just a simple list.. The one I am working with has around 2500 entries. I have been trying to do this using the CONCATENATE function and IF statement but it's just not working..... My head is ready to explode

Set cell fill color based on number of adjacent cell
I am doing a research with the following information. In column B, I have the name of the buyer company, column B cells that contain numbers 1, 2 or 3 opposite the company name in column B depending on certain characteristics. I would like to mark the companies in column A in different colors (or some other recognizable way) as described below.
columns result
col A col B col C
7 Materials Inc 3
7 Materials Inc 2
6 Rayon Inc 3
6 Rayon Inc 3
6 Rayon Inc 3
8 Commun Corp 1
8 Commun Corp 2
8 Commun Corp 3
8 Commun Corp 2
8 Commun Corp 1
I would like to have on output in column A as shown above according to the following criteria:
4: if there are only 1 in column C opposite the specific company in column B
5: if there are only 2 in column C opposite the specific company in column B
6: if there are only 3 in column C opposite the specific company in column B
7: if there are 1, 2 and 3 in column C opposite the specific company in column B
8: if there are 1 and 2 in column C opposite the specific company in column B
Any suitable function in excel or Macros that can work with the formatting, because I have tens of thousands of companies and it will take too much time to do it manually.

I want the font of a value in a cell to turn green or red based on the value of the cell below it - NOT based on a set value or range like all of the other examples are based on. I want to apply a formula or condition to the entire table.
Column a has the date for each value, newest date is row 1 and oldest date is row 250. Column b-k has the number value for each animal species we are tracking. If there are more animals than the day before, the value went up and I want the font to be green. If there are less animals than the day before, then value went down and I want the font to be green.
There are about 250 rows in each table and I have 4 tables. I thought I could do conditional formating but I can only find how to change font color based on a set value. For instance, for each day there are over 10 turkeys, then it would be green. That is NOT what I want, see below:
Mon 5 no color change
Fri 5 color change to green
Thu 4 color change to red
Wed 5 color change to red
Tue 7 color change to green
Mon 5
date looks more like this - col a is date, col b is turkey, col c deer, etc
Mon 5 4 3 4 2
Fri 5 3 4 2 7
Wed 5 2 7 1 0
Tue 7 4 6 5 9
Mon 5 1 1 5 4
I would think this is similar to daily stock prices, if data goes up then it is in green, but if the price goes down then in red. Not based on purchase price (set value), but based on previous days closing price. For this report, I only care about the change day to day.

Is there a way to shade a cell based on whether the adjacent cell is shaded? I found some ways to do this with VBA but I was looking for a non VBA solution if possible. So basically if cell C5 is highlighted yellow I would want cell D5 highlighted yellow too, regardless of the values inside the cell. Is this possible without VBA?

I have a spreadsheet spread over with dates in column A from September to December and I have a fuel rebate column as well. The fuel rebate is different for each month and is calculated as a certain amount of cents per dollar added to the total amount in Column B
September: 26c
October: 13.5c
November: 43c
December: 66c
e.g. If there is an invoice for 10/9/07 (september) for $100, then the fuel rebate would be $100*.26 which equals $26 fuel rebate. I want to calculate column B (this is the column with the dollar amount in it), but I want the calculation to be different depending on what date is in column A, so if in column A the dated month is October, then the calculation would be something like B2*0.135. give me the calculation I am certain you don't need VBA for this right (just nested IF statements?)

The easiest way for me to explain it is to give an example: if the list contains Red,Blue,Green,Yellow. i need a formula for the adjacent cell that inputs £1 if red is chosen, £2 if blue is chosen, £3 if green is chosen, £4 if yellow is chosen

A2:A5 contains different dollar amounts, a6 is the sum of those amounts
In column B (B2:B5), i place a "p" beside the amount in column A once it has been paid.
I want to:
a. conditionally format the amounts in column a to turn green once I put the 'p' in the adjacent column
b. conditionally format the sum in A6 to exclude amounts that have been paid, and only display the total amount of the unpaid lines.
