    Enter Today's Date When A Specific Value Is Selected In DropDown

    Hi

    Can this be done

    1. Can a dropdown list say "Todays Date" and when selected it puts Todays actual date in the cell....IF I select Todays date it actually places 8/5/2013 in the cell
    2. If I open up the sheet tomorrow it still says Todays date on the dropdown list but it will place 9/5/2013 in the cell

    Thank you

    Rich

    Thanks princ_wns

    That works well but is it possible that when i select the "Todays Date" from the dropdown menu that it actually places the date in the cell where the dropdown option is which is cell D3 instead of J3....i will then copy the formula down the "D" column

    Thanks again

    Rich
