Sorry if this seems a fairly easy question to you guys.

I have a spreadsheet and I need to get the current system time into a cell.
The format of the time is hh:mm am/pm.

Any assistance would be most helpful.

Hi
try
=INT(NOW())
in this cell and format is to your needs

Highlight the cell you want to format. Go up to the toolbar and click on
Format then cells.
Click on the number tab, then under category box go to custom.
Then in the box under the word Type, type in:

hh:mm AM/PM

Then click OK.

This will format the cell you chose to this. So when you type in 9:00 it
will come up as 9:00 AM etc.

Hope this helps.
