How can I set up a "conditional" copy and paste procedure?
I need to copy certain values from a column and paste them into another
depending on the date (that is settled in another column) associated to them.
Example:
ColumnA ColumnB ColumnC
Date Delay(nº of days) Where to paste
13-01-06 15 ........
22-02-05 20 ........
24-01-06 30 ........
So..., I need to copy the values in Column B to the Column C if the
corresponding values in Column A are greater than 01-01-2006 for example?
Taking into account that I have an huge list in which I'm adding new rows
every now an then, I would like to find a way that every time I added a new
row, depending on the values in column A it would copy the values in column B
and paste them to the column C.
I could really use some help!
Many Thanx!

Why not use a formula in column C
=if(A2>DateValue("some date"),B2,"")
then drag fill it down the column. If you want to prefill it for as far as
you think you will ever need it
=if(Or(A2="",A2<DateValue("some date")),"",b2)
