Excel in general

How do you ensure that when Excel opens, it has today's date and it updates the date as and when you access the programme every single day?

RE: Excel in general

Hello Frank

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

To ensure Excel always displays the current date in a spreadsheet, select a cell in the spreadsheet and enter

=today()

then press Enter.

This is a function that will always show the current date.

Kind regards
Amanda

Excel tip:

Quickly insert a function

In Excel 97 and 2000 it was known as the Paste Function dialog box, these days it's known as the Insert Function dialog box. Regardless, one has to choose Insert|Function. or the fx button to open it up. There is, however, a non-mousey way to get hold of the Insert Function dialog box: press Shift+F3 in a blank cell to open the Insert Function dialog.

Press Shift+F3 after a function name and open bracket to open the Function Arguments dialog. For example, type =VLOOKUP( into a cell and press Shift+F3 to obtain a detailed description of VLOOKUP's arguments.
