Thumbs up Answer: how can i set up an automatic "date update" in excel?

Automatic Date Update in Excel

1. Select the cell where you want the date to appear.
  1. Go to the "Formulas" tab in the ribbon at the top of the Excel window.
  2. Click on the "Insert Function" button and search for the
    Formula:
    =TODAY() 
    function.
  3. Select the
    Formula:
    =TODAY() 
    function and click "OK".
  4. The
    Formula:
    =TODAY() 
    function will now appear in the formula bar at the top of the Excel window.
  5. Press the "Enter" key to insert the current date into the selected cell.
2. Save the Excel document.
3. Close the Excel document.
4. Reopen the Excel document.
5. The date in the selected cell should now be updated to the current date.

That's it! Now every time you open the Excel document, the date in the selected cell will automatically update to the current date.
