That worked really well and easily, Thank you heaps.
Is there a way to fill the formula down to each cell without changing the
"A5" to "A6", "A7" manually?

If you select cell B5 and look in the bottom left corner of the cel
there should be a little black box. Hover your mouse over it and you
cursor should change to a + left, click your mouse and drag dow
however far you want to go. This should do it automatically for yo

Do you want it to be a static date that doesn't change tomorrow?

If so, you will need event code.

If not, just enter in B5 =IF(A5>1,TODAY())

If A5 is still greater than 1 tomorrow, the result will update.

Thanks again,
Yes, I need the date in "B5" to be Static according to the date that the
data was entered into it.

EG: "A5" = 19000 (Which i type in on 21 Aug 2006) so "B5" = 21 Aug 2006
"A6" = 20001 (Which i type in on 23 Aug 2006) so "B6' = 23 Aug 2006
but "A5" should stll be dated as 21 Aug 2006

Thanks again for your help

Then you will need event code to enter the static date.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
'when entering data in a cell in Col A
On Error GoTo enditall
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Cells.Column = 1 Then
n = Target.Row
If IsNumeric(Excel.Range("A" & n).Value) And _
Excel.Range("A" & n).Value > 1 Then
Excel.Range("B" & n).Value = Format(Now, "dd mmm yyyy")
End If
End If
enditall:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

This is event code and needs to be copied to a worksheet module.

Right-click on the sheet tab and "View Code".

Paste the above into that module.

Any value >1 entered in any cell in column A will trigger a date stamp in
corresponding cell in column B.
