I have a formula in C2, say =A2+B2. Whenever C2 changes value (actual value, not formula) I want to have the present date and time updated in D2.
I have
Make the insertion of the date conditional upon the range.
This has an advantage of not changing the dates unless the content of the cell is changed, and it is in the range C2:C2, even if the sheet is closed and saved, it doesn't recalculate unless the adjacent cell changes.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim R1 As Range
Dim R2 As Range
Dim InRange As Boolean
Set R1 = Range(Target.Address)
Set R2 = Range("C2:C20")
Set InterSectRange = Application.Intersect(R1, R2)
InRange = Not InterSectRange Is Nothing
Set InterSectRange = Nothing
If InRange = True Then
R1.Offset(0, 1).Value = Now()
End If
Set R1 = Nothing
Set R2 = Nothing
End Sub
