Automatically assign date and time in Excel

Hello,
is it possible to create a spreadsheet which will automatically assign date and time in one cell on the action?
I would like to scan a barcode in cell A1 and when I scan, excel will automatically assign date and time (with minutes and seconds if can) of that scan in cell B1. So I can track when was each scan created or scanned.
Also, is it possible to create VBA scrips where that Excel spreadsheet will automatically on a predefined time in a day do file/save as on specific folder in Desktop?
Thanks in advance.

You can use a worksheet_change event handler to enter a date whenever the sheet is changed.

For the saving the ontime event handler can do the job. This page can give you a lead on how to do it.
