This sounds awfully basic, but for the life of me, I can't figure out
how to do it.

I would like the date at the top of my spreadsheet to reflect the last
save date for the file. Isn't there a function that will handle this?

There is no built-in function to do this.
A user designed function (UDF) is necessary.
'--------------------
'Place the following code in the "ThisWorkbook" module...

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Application.OnTime Now, ThisWorkbook.Name & "!TimeSaved"
End Sub

'Place the following code in a standard module...

Sub TimeSaved()
Dim strPath As String
strPath = ActiveWorkbook.Path
Range("B4").Value = "Last saved: " & FileDateTime(strPath)
End Sub
'--------------------

Every time the workbook is saved, the saved date and time will appear
in Cell B4 on the currently active sheet.

UDF, eh? Well, that'll sure be unknown territory for me. I'll give it
a shot.

Thanks!

The code I gave you has some problems when the
workbook is closed. Also, technically it is not a
user designed function. The following code placed
in a standard module should do what you want.
It will update every time the workbook is recalculated.
To use it, in a cell just enter ...
= timesaved()

'--------------------------
Function TimeSaved()
Application.Volatile
Dim strPath As String
strPath = ActiveWorkbook.Path
TimeSaved = "Last saved: " & FileDateTime(strPath)
End Function
