In my job, my team have to take phone-calls from stores asking various questions. In order to combat this, I have set up a call tracker to see where the calls are coming from (so we can beat them with a stick). I have asked my colleagues to record the date and time of the calls.
I need a big button at the top of the page that says 'New Call'. Then, when this button is pressed, the time and date stamp will automatically be put into cell A3, then when pressed again a4, and again a5... and so on.
I am struggling with the following:
-Using CTRL + Shift + : to input the date/time on a macro inputs the date I made the macro, not the date/time the button is pressed!
-I can only get the date to go in cell A2 - If I press it again, nothing happens. how to do this, or just do it for me
I want to create a command button on one worksheet so that when I click it a pop up box asks the user for the date and this date is input automatically into a specified cell on another worksheet.
I have got this far - which makes my data input box pop up but now I need adding in code to put that data in a certain cell - for example Cell B1 in worksheet Daily Tasks.
Private Sub CommandButton12_Click()
Dim ans As String ans = InputBox("Enter date dd/mm/yy", "Data Entry")
I have a workbook with macro button to run some vba, if i want the button to disable when the user make copies of the workbook (date created is later than original wb saved time) what codes to add in the VBA?
what i assume is to add the time to a cell when the wb is saved, when the wb opens, it check for that cell if the same with the date created, if different, then disable the macro button.
I would like to take this VBA a step further. What I want to achieve is to date & time stamp a worksheet in cell A1 if any other cell within the sheet is altered. Below is the VBA I used today to enter the info if cell A1 is changed. Can anyone please help with my new target.
Just one more question: When a shared file is used is it possible to also enter the username of the person who's made the alteration.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Dim rng As Range ' Only look at single cell changes If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub ' Set Target Range Set rng = Range("A1") ' Only look at that range If Intersect(Target, rng) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub ' Action if Condition(s) are met Target.Offset(, 1) = Format(Date, "d mmm yyyy") & " " & Format(Time, "h:mm") & " Hrs"
I found the code below in a previous tread, it works great, but i need some help altering it. I have it set-up when someone puts their initials in column B the time and date inputs in column S. But it also inputs if I hit delete or clear contents when I need to clear the form. Is there a way to make it input the time and date ONLY when letters are entered in column B?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Column = 2 Then Application.EnableEvents = False Target.Offset(0, 17).Value = Now
I am not sure that I can do this, but here is what I would like to do. I have a worksheet that I initial when I start a job in on cell and then when I finish in another cell. What I's like is to have a macro running in the back ground that will tell me the total elapsed time from when I started to when I finished.
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 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)
Looking for code that auto updates today's date in column C, when cells in either column a or b of the same row are edited or changed. I have never used VBA before, just browsing forums for something that might work. I think I'm close with this one, but maybe the offset is wrong - it populates the date in column b when a change.
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:
Is it possible to use a macro like the one below, and have the second location save with the date / time stamp in the name? This is what I need to accomplish: I have a few folks that need to make changes to a master spreadsheet daily. The spreadsheet is in a Network share that when modified and saved, will save to that network share, but also locally. Can the second location have the date/time stamp added to the name of the file so that I know when the changes were made and have an audit trail ? This will also keep a copy of the last modified file in case the spreadsheet is corrupted. Here is what I have for saving to 2 locations:
I'm trying to develop a simple time / acitivity capture sheet for a time and motions study. I have a sheet called "Front" with a project number in C2, an activity drop down in C4 and a comments section in C6.
I need to paste these into sheet "Database" into the first blank cell in B:B for C2, C:C for C4 then stamp the date in the same row in D:D and the time in E:E.
I have a column (D) where I put percentages complete of a task. When that reaches 100% I want to put the date in column (C).
I found many samples online but nothing I can modify to do this.. This one is pretty straight forward but I'm not sure how to have it look for the value and not just empty or not. I would be greatful for any help you can offer.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Column <> 4 Then Exit Sub If Target.Row = 1 Then Exit Sub If IsEmpty(Target(1)) Then Exit Sub If IsEmpty(Target.Offset(0, -1)) Then Target.Offset(0, -1) = Date Target.offset(0, -1).numberformat = "yyyy-mm-dd" End If End Sub
I work in a sales team, and am currently planning the new year of sales spreadsheets (tracking prospects and orders) These spreadsheets are linked in both directions to the Sales Director's summary spreadsheet (so that she can set the targets, and also provide a summary to the MD). She has asked me whether it is possible to put a formula in that gives the date each line (1 line = 1 prospect) was updated (so that she can see whether information in the line is current / a week old / a month old etc)
Effectively, what I need is in column A a formula which references columns B-Q and if any of those change, puts in the date of change. Is this possible, or am I going to have to ask the sales guys to do it manually? I have tried to use the =Now() function, but, because the spreadsheets are linked, and auto-update on opening, every time the spreadsheet is opened, each line goes to today's date.
The previous threads that I looked at suggested either: volatile time stamp in shared workbook
or
That is bad design, Enter =NOW() to a single name cell named cell and use date =MyD-T in ALL cells needing the Date & Time. Where MyD-T is the named cell. I would advise STRONGLY against using Manual Calculation as it's NOT good spreadsheet design and a mistake waiting to happen.
i need to put a date stamp when a change is made in b3:b31 into e3:e31 for each row also i need to put a date stamp into g3:g31 when a change is made in F3:f31 i try to use 1 "worksheet-change" and it is fine once i use 2 i get Ambiguous Name Detected errors

device a macro which should be able to provide a time stamp in Column B when the adjecent cell in Column C is updated.
i.e. If C1 is updated, B1 should get the time stamp. *& if the value in C1 is removed, then the time stamp in B1 should also be removed.
In addition to this, I would require the macro to unprotect the sheet before updating the timestamp and protecting it again after the time stamp has been enetered. further moving on to saving the sheet.
I tried to combine few updated macros to complete it bu have been unable to do so.
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 have two identical web query's on the same sheet. One from column A to column I and the other one from column K to column S, and both have 404 rows. The one on the left (from column A to I) autorefreshes every 60 minutes and the one on the right (from column K to S) autorefreshes every 4 minutes. I want to subtract the numbers in column Q from column G and the ones in column R from column H, and in both cases if the result is bigger than 0 to place a timestamp in column Y(for Q-G), and in column Z (for R-H). I tried with NOW formula, but the timestamp changed every time the web query from the right autorefreshed, no matter of the result. I guess that I have to use VBA codes...but I'm not good at that .
I am have average excel knowledge with formulas and I am relatively new to the creation of Macros. I was told by my boss that he wants me to create a Macro that will palce a time stamp in the bottom left corner of the page (via the footer) that updates automatically every time a sheet is worked on. Please provide any help or assistance that can get me through this task.
I am working on an Inventory Spreadsheet. I have need it to date time stamp that willpopulate a different cell /field when text are entered in a different cell/field and will not change all the previous dates entered on the spreadsheetevery time I re-open the spreadsheet. I formula I am using is =IF(E3<>"",IF(D15="",NOW(),D15),"")and it changes each time I open thesheet to do the inventory so I do not know the date of the last inventory. Iwant to capture the actual date that the inventory was completed in thesecond/different cell?
Hi All, I want to set up a macro that will input a date stamp for the working day before this one. I have to input the status of dozens of meeting rooms everyday and the checksheets that I work from are from the previous working day (So on a Monday, I want the Macro to enter Friday's date). I wanted to create a quick macro to save myself the hassle of entering the date for every entry and obviously, if I incorporate the TODAY() function it will update every time I open the workbook and give me the wrong date.
I've been checking related threads and can't seem to find either a VB code or a function that'll enable me to do this (I haven't looked particularly hard as I'm at work ).
I am trying to create a time stamp that shows elapsed time. So I enter my start time, and if I enter any text in cell B7, return the elapsed time in A7 based off of start time in A6. I have attached an example workbook.
I am looking to change the color of my text through a macro, which is fine. But I want to change the color according to a date key. So every time I update my date once a week, a new series is "blacked in". The series has the link already in it, I just need it to change color (to black) every time I update it.
I am trying to get the start date and end date by command button but want this date and time to be given in particular column only not in active cell and this need to be continued in next rows by clicking command button.
I need is to be able to have a button show up on an Excel spreadsheet that you push to update the DAY and TIME to today. But, I need it to stay in a protected field so that it doesn't accidentally get changed by other users who open it up. And we save these for retention purposes, so if I open it a couple days later, I need the date to stay as the date I edited it on.
