how do I get a current time using =TODAY() instead of 12:00 AM
In Excel, If I format a cell with date and time and enter =today( )
I get the correct current date and a time of 12:00 AM Never the current time. How do I get the current time? If I enter =NOW( ) I get the correct current time. Thanks. Keith |

You can't. Today returns the date, not the time. -- Bearacade ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bearacade's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=35016 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=555679 |

Sorry, I should have stated that I wish the time and date to remain static,
never changing.

how do I get a current time using =TODAY() instead of 12:00 AM
I want the date and time to be static. =NOW( ) changes everytime I open the
worksheet. "Toppers" wrote: use =NOW()??!!!

Keith,
If you want a static date/time you will need to use VBA to assign NOW() to your required cell(s). What event determines if/when the date/time changes (as opposed to everytime the w/book is opened)?

Hi Keith, what about to use =now() copy and past special values?

To enter a static date use CTRL + ;(semi-colon) To enter static Now time use CTRL + SHIFT + ;(semi-colon) To get both in same cell with space between CTRL + ; Let go of CTRL and hit <space then CTRL + SHIFT + ; Format to dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Mon, 26 Jun 2006 10:30:03 -0700, Keith wrote: I want the date and time to be static. =NOW( ) changes everytime I open the worksheet.

Got it worked out using a user defined function in visual basic.
