This solution isn't going to work.#1) date(today) isn't a valid syntax.
"today" is a text string. if you named a range in your workbook "today" then it
MIGHT return the value from that range.today() (with "()") is a function that
returns the serial number of today's date.
#2) the Date() function converts a set of numbers representing the year, month
and day into a date serial number. (=DATE(2016,5,16) returns 42506)so,
date(today), or more properly date(today()) implies creating a date serial
number from a date serial number, which will cause an error.
Next: an IF() function cannot change the values of a cell other than the one
where it currently resides.The intent in this example, B1=date(today) was to
set the value of B1 equal to today's date.However, the IF() function will
interpret the "=" as a Logical test and return true/false (once the date
function is corrected)
Now, you COULD use =IF(A1>0,TODAY(),"")
But a potential problem with this is that whenever you open the file, the date
will change to the current date.
If, what you're wanting is to record the date in which a cell is changed to a
non-zero value,about the only way to do so is to create a VBA Change Event.In
that event, you can test to see if the changed cell is the target cell
(A1),then test to see if the date cell already has a value.If the changed cell
is A1 and the date is blank, then put in the current date.
If you need help with a Change Event, I'd be glad to help.
