Hello

What is the shortcut for inserting the date please?

Thank you
Sheila

RE: Excel

Hello Sheila,

Hope you enjoyed your Microsoft Excel Intermediate course with Best STL.

Thank you for your question regarding a shortcut for inserting today's date into a cell.

CTRL + ; (semi-colon) will enter today's date
CTRL + SHIFT + : (colon) will enter current time

You can also use a function to enter today's date and this is :

=TODAY()

Using a function however, will always update the date to today's date whenever you open a file.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

Rodney
Microsoft Office Specialist Trainer
