Pre set date and time

how do you fix the date and time that it doesn't automatically update

RE: pre set date and time

Hi Rollin

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

You can do this by:
1. Entering the =now() function into a cell to give you current date and time.
2. Copy the =now() formula result, and select a different cell.
3. Go to Edit - Paste Special, and choose Values and Number formats, click OK. This will paste the date and time in, but it won't update. You can then delete the =now() function if you wish.

I hope this helps.
Amanda

Excel tip:

Use shortcut keys to select rows or columns

Most users use the mouse to select rows or columns. It may be more convenient to use keyboard shortcuts to do that.

The shortcut key combination to select an entire row is Shift+Spacebar.

The shortcut key combination to select an entire column is Ctrl+Spacebar.

These are pretty easy to remember as the spacebar looks like a long row (or column if you're looking at it sideways). Remember that Ctrl, beginning with C, selects columns and Shift, by a process of elimination, the rows.
