Copy the value in a cell to another cell - Dates

BethWork

I have two columns in a sheet where I want to same date in both columns. I want to link the second column to the first column so that whatever date I put in that first column reflects the change in the second column. I understand this isn't possible with automation at this time as I don't want to date stamp it.

How would I use a formula in the second column to do what I need? Or is there another better option? Ultimately, I need the second column for a dynamic view so whatever solution works needs to still be able to pull the value from that cell as a date.

Hi @BethWork

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=DateOne@row

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Have you checked, so the Install Data Phase 1 is set as Date?

Was that the issue?

Hi @Andrée Starå. I tried that in the column where I wanted the value to be placed and got the error below.

=[Install Date SW/Fuel]@row

Is it possible that any time I change the date in the Install Date SW/Fuel for it to just update the Install Date Phase 1 with the same information?

@Andrée Starå I did not have it set to a date column. As soon as I did that it worked perfectly. Thank you!

Excellent! Easy to miss.

You're more than welcome!
