Excel Formulas for Current Date and Time

Excel provides easy-to-use formulas for inserting the current date, time, or both into a worksheet. Here are the formulas along with examples:

1. Current Time Only Formula

Formula:
=TEXT(NOW(), "HH:MM:SS AM/PM")
or
=TEXT(NOW(), "HH:MM:SS") for a 24-hour format.

Automatic Updates:

Both =TODAY() and =NOW() are dynamic and update automatically whenever the worksheet recalculates.

Static Date and Time:

If you want to insert the current date or time as a static value (that doesn’t change), you can press Ctrl + ; for the current date and Ctrl + Shift + ; for the current time.

Description:
This formula extracts and formats the current time from the NOW() function.

Example:

  • If the current time is 11:55 AM, entering = Ctrl + Shift + ; press will display 11:55:00 AM.





2. Current Date Formula

Formula:
=TODAY()

Description:
This formula returns the current date. The date is updated every time the worksheet is recalculated or opened.

Example:

  • If today's date is 13 August, 2024, entering =TODAY() in a cell will display 13/08/2024 (depending on your regional date format).

3. Current Time Formula

Formula:
=NOW()

Description:
This formula returns the current date and time. Like TODAY(), the value is updated every time the worksheet is recalculated or opened.

Example:

  • If the current date and time are August 13, 2024, 3:23 PM, entering =NOW() in a cell will display 08/13/2024 3.23 PM.
