Changing the Closed Date on an Opportunity when Closed Won/Lost

How would I automatically change the closed date of an opportunity to the date on the event of the stage being changed to closed won or closed lost?

Create a work flow that will use a field update which sets the close date upon a change to stagename. As for rule criteria, use formula and check the stagename with ispickval().

 

ISPICKVAL(stagename, 'Closed Won')

 

Replace "Closed Won" with your picklist value.

Thank you for your help.  I created a workflow where the date was updated to TODAY when the opportunity was edited.  I was not sure where to use the formula ISPICKVAL(stagename, 'Closed Won') and just used the criteria of Stage equals Closed Won and the formula to update to =TODAY() and it is working.  I am not very familiar with formulas but it worked so I guess it is ok.
