Default Date Field

Is it possible to insert a date field into an Excel spreadsheet like you can
in Word? A date field that would update to the current date each time you
opened the spreadsheet?

Thanks!

Sure, use the formula

=TODAY()

Keep in mind, however, this will update each time you open the sheet.
