Why does my Modified column update all records?
Hi, I have a report that pulls the 'Completed' status entries from a master sheet. Occasionally I'll log in to check what the team has done but fine that all entries are updated at the same time. How & why is this happening and am I able to pair the status change of 'Completed' to permanently fix the Modified time?

Probably a good thing to mention that these entries may have been 'Completed' several days / hours apart too.

Hi @MattL123
I hope you're well and safe!
Are you using the Today function in a formula on each row or something similar?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!
Best,

Yes, on the Master sheet I have a formula for:
=NETDAYS(TODAY(), [Due Date:]@row) - 1
On that sheet I have 3 columns of;
- Date Raised
- Due Date
- Days until Due Date (where the formula sits)
Is there a better way to set this up?

No, but you could use a Workflow combined with the Record a date Action to register the date when the Status changes to Completed.
Would that work/help?
