=ISEVEN(COUNTA(UNIQUE($A$2:$A2)))

 

Note: dates are being added everyday. this formula worked when i had already used old data but stopped working as i started entering a new date

Up to and including A106, the cells contain only a date (with midnight as time).

Starting in A107, the cells contain a formula that returns the date AND time - it uses NOW().

Solution:

  1. Manually, type the date 4-27-23 (without time) in A107:A111.
  2. Change the formula in A112 to =IF(B112<>"",IF(A112<>"",A112,TODAY()),"")
  3. Double-click the fill handle in the lower right corner of A112 to fill down.
Thank you so much! completely missed that
