No. The TODAY() function takes no arguments and returns the current date. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "sunderland27" wrote in message ... do i put anything in TODAY (?)

No, TODAY() needs no argument.
HOWEVER...be sure to format the cell as date, otherwise you will see: 38817 (sorry I didn't warn you) -- Gary's Student "sunderland27" wrote: do i put anything in TODAY (?)

That is the date serial number (the way Excel internally stores dates, the number of days since 0-Jan-1900). Format the cell for Date and all will be right in your world. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "sunderland27" wrote in message ... when i typed in the formula, i got a date "38817" "Gary''s Student" wrote: =IF(A1="no",TODAY(),"") -- Gary''s Student "sunderland27" wrote: i want to be able to have the current date populate a field when another field is select "no". can anyone help? |
