Is there a way for excel to automatically input a date when a new cell is started? For example if data is inputted into A2, could excel insert a date in B2 depending on when the data was inputted into A2.
Thanks

You can prepopulate the following formula in column B say from B2 to B10000.
=IF(A2="","",the date which you want to enter)
Say the date which you want to enter is 5-Feb-2018, then formula would be
=IF(A2="","",DATE(2018,2,5))
