How do i insert todays date

RE: Excel Intermediate

Hi sarah,

If you type in the formula =today() this will return the current system date. This will automatically update on a daily basis. So today it would say 21st November. If I went back to it tomorrow the it would say 22nd of November etc.

If you wanted to insert today's date and then have that remain the same, perhaps as some sort of time stamp then you would need to first copy the cell with the formula in it. You could then select the same cell and click on edit-Paste special and choose the value option. This would replace the formula with the actual date and this wouldn't subsequently change.

Regards

Stephen

Excel tip:

Convert a column into row quickly in Excel 2010

Occasionally you might enter data into Excel vertically and then when you finish realize that actually it would look more clearer if it was represented in a horizontal format. If you follow these simple steps below, you can quickly change the data from going vertically to horizontally and vice versa.

First, select the column you want to convert into a row or a row into a column. Then right click and select Copy. Go to the sheet where you want to past this row as a column and select “Paste Special”. Remember to check the check-box “Transpose” and select “OK”.
