    In this video, I will show you the easiest way to timestamp a cell in google sheets. It took me a while to figure out this one but it is rather simple and only a couple of letters and numbers in a function.
    This function will not only timestamp the date of a cell but is also can timestamp the time down to the second! This can be very helpful if you are looking to keep track of stocks you are buying and selling, leads you are following up on, or entries being made.
    There are plenty of other videos out there that will get into advanced coding to timestamp a cell but it doesn't need to be that hard! Hope you enjoy the video and learn something from it, and make sure to smash that like button, subscribe to my channel and hit that share button so more people can learn about this neat little function!

    Thanks a lot! In german google sheets, I had to replace all the commas with semicolon, then it worked:
    =IFS(B2="";"";A2="";now();TRUE;A2)

    However I ran into some little problem, when I have multiple lines of records, if I change the content of one of the stock name, some of the date (mine is including hour and minutes) will automatically change as well. Is there any way to make the time stamp unchangeable once it got the time?

    Hey, how can we do it if any of two or more columns have a value? Suppose, besides "Stock", there's another column "Mutual Funds", so if any of the "Stocks" or "Mutual Funds" column have a value, or both have values, we'll get the timestamp.
    (EDIT) Made it : [=ifs(and(b2="",c2=""),"",A2="",now(),true,A2)]

    Can I use this thing by the script because I already used this formula for almost 2 years but earlier we found a bug date (timestamp) that is automatically changed every time whenever I open the sheet. For solution of this problem I am currently using a script "onedit()" but in this script i am not able to set key value to run this trigger. When I use formula I user If A2="done" then lock the time stamp if A2 ="" then put this cell as null. Please help me.

  • @rubenstones8684
    @rubenstones8684 8 місяців тому

    Ok so my timestamp shows up, but now my formula that counts days from my date stopped working [=datedif(A2,Today(),"d")]. How can i get the datedif function to work with this timestamp formula? Originally i had to enter the date manually and the datedif had no problem calculating days from that, but it does not calculate the days when i introduce the timestamp formula. is there a way to get them both working so that when i write on my cell it triggers both formulas? hope that makes sense.
