This is for a single worksheet. We will use cell A1. We will capture the
last time any cell is updated (directly, not formula)
First format A1 as Custom > m/d/yyyy h:mm:ss
and then enter this tiny worksheet event macro:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
Cells(1, 1).Value = Now
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and automatic to use:
1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the Excel window
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window
If you have any concerns, first try it on a trial worksheet.
If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.
To remove the macro:
1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window
