How To Make The Result Of A TODAY Function Static?
Mar 22, 2006
I have a problem with the today Function. It appears that it changes each day. But that isn't what I want! I'd like to have a funtion that puts the current Date in a field when Data is being added in the Row and then having this date static the next day. Here is what I had so far but I have no clue to make the date static:
=IF(C10>0;TODAY();IF(D10>0;TODAY();" "))
in this case it checks for information in field C10 and D10 and if there is information it will add a Date like 2006-03-22. But new day the field will change to 2006-03-23 and that is not what i want. I want it to stay the same when data is put in and the date is being presented.

I'm in Excel 2010, and the cell with the date I want to work from is H22.
I'm trying to get the difference of the (date+12 months)-TODAY() to appear in months and days.
Here's the latest thing I tried (that doesn't work):
=IF(DATEDIF(H22,TODAY(),"y")>=1,DATEDIF(H22,TODAY(),"y")&" yrs, "&DATEDIF(H22,TODAY(),"ym")&" mths,
"&DATEDIF(H22,TODAY(),"md")&" days",IF(DATEDIF(H22,TODAY(),"ym")>=1,DATEDIF(H22,TODAY(),"ym")&" mths, "&DATEDIF(H22,TODAY(),"md")&" days",DATEDIF(H22,TODAY(),"md")&" days"))
I should also probably note that the date in H22 is the result of another function.
=EDATE(G22,12)

what im creating is a live odds program for NFL football... and in my workbook I have ALL the teams as individual sheets.
The problem im having is say im looking at the calculations for Pittsburgh on the pittsburgh sheet, and my macro decides to update.
What it does is pulls me away from the pittsburgh sheet and goes through all the updates for all the teams on all the sheets. By the time its updated all the odds for all the sheets and running and highlighting with the other macros I have to click back to Pittsburgh and view again for like 20 seconds.. and away she goes again updating the sheets.
Is there any substitute for "select" in the programming where it will not select the sheet.. but just update it "behind the scenes" ?? making the page static and remaining viewable while it runs all the processes in the background??
( yep im pretty new at all this, but i have a great method for calculating games and winners each week, but probably better without looking for 20 seconds waiting, clicking back to the sheet and looking for another 20 seconds .. etc etc .)

I have 2 cell, A1 and B1. When any data is entered into A1, B1 will display the time corresponding to when the data was entered.
I was thinking about function for B1 would be "=IF(A1="","",now()) ". It worked such that it will display the time, however the value in B1 will automatically update itself if I were to randomly input any data in any other cell too.
For example, I input "testing" in A1. B1 display "11:20PM". Ten minutes later, I input "hello" in A2. B1 now display "11:30PM".
Anyone know a way to stop B1 from updating? or only update when new data is entered into A1 only?

Any way where is a list of cells (b3:b113) has text entered, or specific text entered, it will enter a static cell in the corresponding "d" column.
I know of CTRL + ; but i don't really know how to get it to work as a macro, can't find a forumla that enters the static date, and i don't want to make a macro to copy + paste special the date when it happens.
So all i should have to do is entered text in column b, then it will add a time stamp, when that text was entered, it doesn't have to update.
Like all i need is this, but instead of the "now()" function, it will have another function that doesn't automatically update?
=IF(ISBLANK(E5)=FALSE,NOW(),"")

I am trying to send my field reps a spreadsheet that will allow them to pick the proper location for each building. The problem I am having is that there are ~45,000 buildings, each with anywhere from 1 - 92 locations. Here is how my spreadsheet is set up.
Sheet 1
Column A has the Buildings THIS IS NOT A DROP DOWN. THIS IS A STATIC CELL PRE FILLED OUT
Column B is where I want the drop down to be available for the rep to pick the location
Sheet 2
Column A has a list of the buildings
Column B has a list of the locations
I understand that normally I would need to create a named range for each building and its locations. However, there are more Buildings than columns in Excel. Is there a way I can do this using Index/Match, or Offset, or Indirect? I have a sample spreadsheet that can be found in my dropbox account using this link [URL]

I have a problem using indirect in a counta function. Basically, I want to count the number of used cells in a range. However, there would be insertions to the rows (using the insert row) on top of the range.
my function is now =counta(indirect(" events database"!"A"&M22&":A"&M500)
However, this formula returns an error. What have I typed wrongly?

I have a button and when I press it, it shows a tick so the user knows when it's been clicked I also want it to insert the date it was clicked but obviously if I use the =TODAY() formula it would change everyday. I need to keep it the same after each day.

I have found threads that explain that if you want a to use the now() or today() function but make it static, you have to put a code in the worksheet relating to it.
I have read quiet a few threads, but i can't seem to make my code work.
I need to format column A to have the date format in it. I have a event procedure that puts Now() when run in Column A and I think i need to add the following code to the worksheet to make it static.

What I would like to do is output the first 4 characters of a cell into another cell. eg Cell A1 has "1234 Sydney". If I just use the manual formula "=left(A1,4)" it would give me the correct output "1234" in say cell B2, but as a formula. As I need to automate this in a macro, how could you code this in VBA to output the String "1234" into cell B2(ie the actual output rather than a formula)?

In a single cell, I want to say "Report Complete as of" and then the current date. Is there a way to use & the TODAY function that will return TODAY as a date in conjunction with the text? I keep getting "Report Complete as of 39743" instead of "Report Complete as of 10/22/08", for example, and I can't seem to convert the numbers to a date.

I need to find a way to take the TODAY() function and and split the individual digits out and recombine them to a text cell, i have tried using the MID function but it returns the serial rather than the actual number, e.g
today() 02/01/2009 needs to be shown as 020108 (this needs to be text rather than a number) as it is included within an INDIRECT formula.

I want a report header to be similar to: REPORT AS OF 2/23/10. If I use the TODAY() function by itself, I get the date; 2/23/10. But when I concatenate it with the text "REPORT AS OF " & TODAY()" I get REPORT AS OF 40232". How do I preserve the date format when I concatenate it with text?

I am using Row 3 as a my template to insert a row for every new line of data i enter. I have a macro that copies the format and formula on this template row to insert at the end every time. The problem is on ROW 3 Cell F i am using a Today() function and everytime i insert a row the date is populated. But the next day the date automatically update.
In my search on this forum, i found this macro to supposedly lock in the dates, but i doesn't work.
VBA:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Range("F2:F10000"), Target) Is Nothing Then
storage = Target.Value
Target.Value = Format(storage, "dd/mm/yy")
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

I have a column, where i want to calculate the difference between today and another date/or viceversa. The problem is, that in the first two cells, it calculates it well, but then, it shows #VALUE and when I press to see the "calculations steps" , it shows "29/09/2009"-40049. It turns the today function into a number. Why?

I am trying to make a column show the result of a formula as positive number only. Right now the column subtracts two other cells and displays the result. I am trying to make it show all the results, positive or negative as positive.

I am trying to create a formula that will count days since an incident. Column A will have each day of the year in it Column 2, I would like to have 0 in it for each day In the event of an incident, I will replace the 0 with a 1 - but this should only happen on the date, rather than be maintained daily, if you take my point. I would like it to return a value based on todays date, counting the days in between today, and the last 1 entered. It is to cover the whole year.

I'm starting a project where Excel will be used as the main UI for defining a table of data. I'm expecting to define a "template" - xlt i guess - that users can open and save as an xls, without over-writing the template. Users will populate the spreadsheet with a lot of help from user defined functions. I'm just getting started and would like to populate a particular cell with the current date, but only the first time the sheet is opened. I tried checking whether a cell was empty before assigning a value to it, of course this meant recursion!
Also: It might be nice to use the Today() function inside a UDF, but TODAY isn't a member of Application.WorksheetFunction - is there no way to reference TODAY() from within a UDF?

I would like to use a function or a button to put today's date in documents. The only function I found is "today" but it changes every day. I would like to put, lets say 17-11-13 and still have the same date tomorrow and not 18-11-13.

I have a formula in a cell that counts down the days of the month each day using the today function...that part works perfect...But I have some conditional formatting that highlights the row when their is only 5 days left. Basically the row stays highlighted yellow for anything >=0 ="0",$BJ3

Say I have (cell A1) 10 salespeople and they each sell a (A2) $100/month membership, so I have (A3) $1,000 monthly revenue.
(A4) is an assumption about how many months the average person will stay a member.
So if A4 = 6, (6 month membership assumption) how would I get Excel to output $1,000 (the result from A3) into cells B3 through B8
but then for instance if A4 = 3 (3 month membership assumption) it would only output the the $1,000 result from A3 into cells B3 through B5
So like A1 through A4 of...
10
$100
$1,000
6
would output $1,000 into B3 through B8
but
10
$100
$1,000
3
would output $1,000 only to B3 to B5

I have a seemingly simple dilemna and wonder if there is a solution... I am not a PRO user, but can get by with my limited knowledge of excel.
My issue:
I create invoices for my business and in the invoice I use the "TODAY()" function to automatically insert the current day when I created the invoice.
Now when I need to go back and look at the old invoice or print it again it shows the CURRENT date, not the original date when it was saved. Is there a way to view and/or print out a file while keeping the original date intact or is there a better way to format a date to avoid this happening in the future.
I have since eliminated the function and just type in the date to avoid this but I have about 100 invoices that are saved that I may need to view their "original" dates on.

I want to run a macro if the result of an IF function is true.
E.g. cell J55 contains =IF(H55>I55,"Goodbye","")
H55 contains =NOW()
I55 contains =DATE(2012,12,31)
Now by changing the dates etc. it prints Goodbye.... simple enough, but what I want is for it to run a macro that selects a range from the previous year's figures and simply changes the fill colour on the range. The macro for this also works fine.

I have a huge worksheet that contains four character payer code in column D for example: 9081, M897, 0235. I am looking for a function that will show the result in column AD
IF payer code in column D starts with a 9 (9???) - GOVT
IF payer code in column D starts with a 7 (7???) or M (M???) - MNGD
IF payer code in column D starts with a 2 or 0 (zero) – COMM
IF payer code in column D starts with either Z, I, C - PTR
I tried IF function, but it didn’t work for me.

I've created a Database using excel which feeds data to a pivot table I created based on it. My objective is to create a new item in this pivot table (Pivot Table > Formulas > Calculated Item) which calculates the average data for the past 6 months.
The formula I used in order to get a result is this:
=IF(((May+June+July+August+September+October)/6)=0;;(May+June+July+August+September+October)/6)
and the problem is that the answer is 0 when there is no data for all 6 months (for example, there is a customer who hasn't baught anything during the past 6 months), the pivot table displays 0, instead of not showing this customer at all. My goal is for the IF function not to return any data if the result is 0, so that the pivot table doesn't show items with no data.
I also tried:
=IF(((May+June+July+August+September+October)/6)=0;"";(May+June+July+August+September+October)/6)
and also using ;" ";
but these formulas return #VALUE! in the pivot table, given that the Data is "SUM OF Sales" and "" is not a number.
How can I get the formula not to show anything at all?
In addition to this, I was wondering if it is possible to make this formula more automated, so that it calculates the average of the past 6 months, taking into account some type of reference month (rather than having to edit the formula each time a new month is analyzed).

I have a simple/dumb question... How do you "capture" a value that is returned by a custom function.
I have tried searching the forums for this & I know that I should by all rights know how to do this by now... but I just can't figure it out.
Here is a Function that I copied from Ktrasler in this thread:
Week Numbers
Public Function MyWeek(DateArg As Date) As Byte
Const BaseDate = "30/12/2001"
DateArg = CDate(DateArg) - (Weekday(DateArg) - 1)
MyWeek = Int(((DateArg - CDate(BaseDate)) / 7) Mod 52)
If MyWeek = 0 Then MyWeek = 52
End Function
I know how to pass variables to Functions, and tried this one out & it worked splendidly for my needs, but how do I take the value of "MyWeek" and use it in the subroutine that I am calling it from?

How do you use the result of the "Address" function as ranges for other formulas?
I have 2 cells A1 and A2, each containing an "Address" function to find the start cell and end cell of a range.
A1 shows the result "$J$6" and A2 "$AB$6". These are working fine:
A1: =ADDRESS(ROW($A6),MATCH(HLOOKUP('cleaned up'!$I$2,pivot03!$2:$2,1,FALSE),$2:$2,0),1)
A2: =ADDRESS(ROW($A6),MATCH(HLOOKUP('cleaned up'!$I$5,pivot03!$2:$2,1,FALSE),$2:$2,0),1)
I want to get the average of this range using cells A1 and A2, but Excel treats the formula as an error: =Average(A1:A2) shows the error #DIV/0!
Going back one step and putting the formulas within cells A1 and A2 into the average formula doesn't work at all with a colon:.....................

i have the formula "= sum(A1:A10)" in cell A4 & would like to call macro when the value changes. The code i'm using below work's if I manually type in a value, but isn't working with the formula.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
' Checks for cell value change
If Intersect(Target, Range("A4")) Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
' If cell value change, calls msgbox based on criteria
Else
If Range("E4").Value = "C" And Range("A4").Value > "30" Then
Call MsgBox1
End If
If Range("E4").Value = "F" And Range("A4").Value > "38" Then
Call MsgBox2
End If
End If
End Sub
