time now
 
I am using the function Now(), this returns the current date and time. If
there a way of using this function just to return the current time?

Instead of using NOW() in a cell, replace it with MOD(NOW(),1)

Alternatively, if you have the NOW() formula in A1, then in B1

=A1 - INT(A1)

Format as time.

Hope this helps.

Why not =MOD(A1,1) <G

You need to format it as hh:mm as well as it is picking up the source cell's
format.

You can also try this one:
=TIME(HOUR(NOW()),MINUTE(NOW()),SECOND(NOW()))
The data that you get is the same as with the other solutions, but this
comes directly formated as required:

Bob,

I'd already given him a MOD function, so I thought I'd give him an
alternative.
