Enter TODAY if cell has data

I would like to know how to enter a formula that will enter TODAY's DATE in
one cell if another cell has data (any kind of data but, mostly text) in it

try
=IF(E5"",TEXT(TODAY(),"mm/dd/yy"),"")

Thanks! That WORKED! But, you knew it would!
I'd like to ask one other question, concerning this formula. What can I
enter to exclude a single SPACE as being seen as TEXT in this formula?

Thanks again!

=IF(TRIM(E5)"",etc..

Note that the formula will update with tomorrow's date tomorrow, if you want
a date stamp that will stay you might want to look at this

The Following is a simple example of how to do this:


=IF(C10,NOW(),"")



The above formula will look for any info in Cell "C1" and if found
Stamp the current Date in whatever Cell this Formula exists.


hope This helps.

It won't stamp the date since the date will update every time the sheet is
calculated
