Gerald,
Sounds like you're doing some interesting research. Perhaps you could let us
know what you're testing.

My solution to this is as follows:
If A1 has the value that is >0 or not
and if B1 has the time function now()
and C1 contains your formula, I would write it like:

=if(A1>0,B1,C1)

Note that this creates a circular logic in your spreadsheet. I have
compensated for this by changing my Tools, Options, Calculation, Iteration
maximum to 1 so it doesn't iterate all day long.

Hope this helps. There are some other problems that may arise if you get the
#N/A in your formula, but for now, going to that cell and pressing F2, then
enter will resolve it.
