Can you write an IF/THEN statement to return a date when the checkbox is clicked.

Tony Hull

I have a column which assigns a specific department a task when the button is checked. I would like to populate the assigned date based on this check. So when I assign to purchasing by hitting the check mark, the assigned date column is automatically filled with todays date.

I'm not the greatest at if/then so any help would be great.

So I figured out an if/then statement. =If([Column A]1=true,TODAY()," ")

This works.

Hi Tony,

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment to store Today's date, but it's an excellent idea!

As a workaround. The third-party service, Zapier, is an excellent option for this scenario. Is that an option for you?

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic day!

@Tony Hull The issue with the TODAY function in a formula is that it will update when refreshed to the current date.

Make sense?
