Default enter a current date in a cell?

How can I enter a formula in a cell so that when I click on that cell it will
show today's date or the current date?

You can only get excel to do stuff when you click by using a worksheet
change event. If you want to enter the current time or date quickly, try
Ctrl+; or Ctrl+Shift+:

Try the Today() function - don't need to enter anything between brackets.
