How to add button that adds current date and time to the cell in VBA Excel?

Question

I need to write code in VBA Excel for a button.

The purpose of this button is to increment value in certain cell starting from 0 and I've done that already, but the second feature of this button should be that after clicking this button, current date and time would be shown in the A column starting from A2 how it looks in excel

So basically if value in "L13" is 1, current date and time should appear in "A2", if value in "L13"is 2, date and time should appear in A3 and so on up to let's say A200.

I've tried to make this doing different loops, but I couldn't get expected results.

Below is my current code for this button: https://github.com/Cuyer/excel/blob/main/add_click

Sub Add_Click()
   Dim countCell As Range
   Set countCell = ActiveSheet.Range("L13")
   countCell = countCell + 1
   
   
   Dim wb As Workbook
   
   For Each wb In Application.Workbooks
   wb.Save
   Next wb
   
End Sub

I would really appreciate any help in resolving this issue.

Answer 1

Sub Add_Click()
   Dim countCell As Range, ws As Worksheet

   Set ws = ActiveSheet
   Set countCell = ws.Range("L13")
   countCell.Value = countCell.Value + 1
   'use Offset() to find the date cell
   ws.Range("A1").Offset(countCell.Value,0) = Date

   Dim wb As Workbook
   
   For Each wb In Application.Workbooks
       wb.Save
   Next wb
   
End Sub

The Date function in VBA will give you the Date value of the current day.

Then you can just assign it to a range's value:

Activesheet.Range("A" & countCell + 1).Value = Date

I'm not sure if you mean the Date should appear in a single cell or in a number of cells equal to the value in "L13". The code above is for a single cell, but here is how you would do it for a number of cells:

ActiveSheet.Range("A2:A" & countCell + 1).Value = Date
