Modified Date
Looking for some assistance...so I am using the Modified Date column in one of my sheets and then using that to identify non-updated/aged rows however there is something in my sheet that is resetting or refreshing each of the rows on a daily basis even when I know there hasn't been a manual update to all the rows...could there be something else that is set up on my sheet that would cause all the rows to update?
Vague, I know. My apologies!

I hope you're well and safe!
Are you using the TODAY function anywhere in the sheet?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!

Firstly, thank you for your quick response.
So yes I am, I am using it in a field called 'Days since last update' column which is:
=TODAY() - [Modified Date]@row
So how would I get round this then? In order to show how long a row has been unedited?
Thanks in advance!

@Andrée Starå As per the above, is there a way round this? Do I just need to ensure I have no 'TODAY' formulas in my sheet?

Please have a look at my post below with a method I developed to update the sheet(s) daily.

@AndreeP So I applied the solution as per your document however the automation means the modified date is still being updated...which is what I was trying to eliminate?

Apologies, I misunderstood your need.
You'd need this instead.
Please have a look at my post below with a method I developed.
