'This Macro has been written to update Last modified date/time on each A2:D43415 'Last Modified date applied to column F.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rInt As Range
Dim rCell As Range
Dim tCell As Range
Dim tColInt As Integer

tColInt = 6 'Column Index, Example: A=1, B=2, ...... ,Z=26


Set rInt = Intersect(Target, Range("A2:D43415")) 'Change cell range
 If Not rInt Is Nothing Then
    For Each rCell In rInt
        Set tCell = Cells(rCell.Cells.Row, tColInt)
        If IsEmpty(tCell) Or Not IsEmpty(tCell) Then
            tCell = Now
            tCell.NumberFormat = "dd/mm/yyyy h:mm:ss AM/PM" 'Custom Format
        End If
    Next
 End If
End Sub
