Are you sure you want a date entered into "whatever cell is selected"? This
could lead to a lotta cells with a date entered.

This would require Event code and may not be what you desire.

To enter a static date into a cell you can use CRTL + ;(semi-colon)

Macro to enter a date in a cell when you run the macro via button or shortcut
key combo.

Sub NOWDATE()
ActiveCell.Value = Format(Date, "dd-mmm-yy")
End Sub
