Formula updates once and then ignores changes to reference cell.

I have two formulas reference each other for one function: A user can input data into one cell and have it converted into a different form of currency in the other cell, and vice versa. The conversion is done by taking the input, referencing a coefficient and either dividing or multiplying by it. The problem that lies within this, is that one currency inflates in value very quickly either up or down, so the referenced coefficient changes from day to day.

This is where the problem starts. How can I get the E and F columns to not update once data is entered into them? Essentially, I need a way to lock them in to the data that's entered into them after the user finishes inputting data. I need that data to not update when the coefficient is changed on the next day.

If am not being clear enough, please let me know and I will do my best to clarify. I am still pretty new to OO and Excel, and am very open to any chance to learn!

Thank you for reading,

Problem is that all your dates uses the same cell as a reference and that reference changes on a daily basis. You should have coefficient for each date (additional column).
And for current coefficient you could use VLOOKUP on MAX date to get coefficient of the last date.
