Technical Skill Tuesday : Living for TODAY .
We’ve all had meetings rescheduled. And rescheduled. And rescheduled. If you include the current date within the documents you’ve prepared for these meetings, the amount of reprinting going on can make you feel like you’re shredding a small forest. Never worry, brave Exceller: there’s a function that when you hit print, you won’t have to worry about the date being wrong! It is (somewhat intuitively) referred to as the TODAY function. It looks like this:=TODAY()
You don’t need to insert anything into the parentheses— just plain old “()” will do the trick. Syntax is everything to Microsoft developers, apparently. These guys are not normal.
One last note: the =TODAY() function can also be useful if you want to show what day you finished a document. If you want to include the time as well, you can use the NOW function:
