Numbers

On my Numbers spreadsheet I want the date and time stamp, when I do any changes, to be recorded in a specific cell.

Can you walk me thru the procedure?

Thanks

MacBook, OS X 10.11

You have to input date-time stamps manually.


That's easy. Just click the cell where you want a stamp and choose Insert Current Date or Insert Current Time from the Table menu. Or type control-shift-command-d or control-shift-command-t.


Note that either way both a date and a time are inserted, and that you can change the Data Format to show both.

No, sorry, that can't be done. At least not easily. It is theoretically possible via a script. But that is hardly worth the trouble, especially given how quick and easy it is to insert a date-time stamp manually.


BTW, highly recommend upgrading. Numbers 3.6.2 is very old!
