I am trying to get cell D2 on sheet 1 to automatically add date and time when
a number is entered in any cell within a range a cells (C8:I59) on sheet 2.
I am using Excel 2002

Can anyone please help

Hi,

Answer is

=IF(COUNTA(Sheet2!C8:I59)<>0,NOW(),"")

Paste this formula in column D2

Thanks

works great, noticed one thing though, if I insert a number in a cell not in
the range of the IF statement (C8:I59) on sheet 2 the date and time still
changes on sheet 1.

Thanks in Advance
Mike

Ashish I am entering dates using the today formula however for a request and
time request made then I am entering the date assigned using today formula;
however at there are times the time assigned will overlap into the next day.
How do I formulate the time requested/assigned to recognize the current date.
the information may not be entered in real time but at the end of a shift
from a paper format. What I am trying to do is make sure the data entry
department enters the date for entry.
