Timestamps
How do you create a time stamp column in a new sheet of an existing spreadsheet?  I want it to time stamp each time the column to the right is edited.
Thanks!

couple of thoughts ...

1) you can explore using a Google Apps Script for this -- that would be pretty straight forward

2) a formula based approach as presented in the following  at best is a convoluted workaround

  1. I have a google spreadsheet named Data

    in column 'D' I have drop down list, I want a script to add date of selelction in column 'D' when value in column 'E' matches to "confirmed"


    A B C D E

    Amt Account Description Status

    1000 Traveling To Noida Confirmed (Here I want Auto Date when Confirmed was selected)



    Please Help, the script should not effect any other active sheets..........


    Thanx in advance..
