Solved

Hello,

For an order tracking, I would like that in my Excel file, if I fill in a cell, the cells before it in the row also fill in. Let me explain:
For tracking orders, I need to follow certain specific and/or urgent orders.

For that, I created an Excel table; there are multiple columns, a first part with the order information and a second part of columns with the manufacturing stages.
In one day, several manufacturing stages can be filled in, to avoid having to note the date multiple times, I would like that if we are at stage 4, the cells before it fill in automatically (with the same date, for example, it doesn’t matter much).

Do you have any solutions?

Thank you

Have a nice day

Configuration: Macintosh / Safari 10.1

    Hello

    Not very clear
    Can you post an example of your file on cjoint.com, create a link, copy it and return to paste it here
    Manually write in red in the appropriate cells the dates you would like to see appear

    Regards

        Re

        If I understand correctly, one possibility:
        In D5 formula =IF(MAX(E5:$I5)>0,MAX(E5:$I5),"") to be dragged to the right
        Then drag the columns down
        Be careful, when you enter a date in a cell it obviously deletes the formula, in case of an error you need to rewrite the formula

      Great!!! It works!! :)
      I managed to tinker with the macro so that it could work on the table I have internally.
      It works!!
      Thank you very much :)
