Formatting the =NOW() function ?
Hi,
Im using the =NOW() function to display time and date in my worksheet. Could someone please tell me a few ways to format it to display differently? e.g: Date only, time only, date first, time first etc Thankyou if you can help. |

Formatting the =NOW() function ?
=TEXT(NOW(),"dddd dd mmmm yyyy hh:mm:ss")
Move the 'dddd' 'mmmm' etc around to suit or omit what you don't want. 'dddd' gives 'Saturday', 'ddd' gives 'Sat', 'dd' gives 06, same thing with the month and year, Regards, Alan.

Note: you will not be able to use this in any calculations because it is text.
Better you should enter =NOW() in a cell then go to FormatCellsNumberCustom and format as you wish. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Sat, 6 Oct 2007 06:43:02 -0700, dim wrote: Thankyou, that works great.
