Default Returning Yesterday

Hello

I want my spreadsheet to return YESTERDAY's date, not TODAY's.

I believe it's not possible to embed TODAY() in a formula, so can anyone
tell me how to return YESTERDAY'S date into a cell?

Thank you.

Keith

It is possible to embed the TODAY() function in a formula:

=TODAY()-1

Thanks.

I didn't think that formula worked. I thought I'd tried it, but I'll give it
another go.
