The Google Sheets “Today Date” is an invaluable tool for quickly and easily finding information about current day and date.
How to insert the current date in a Google Sheet
To insert the current date in a Google Sheet, you can use the date() function. The date() function takes two parameters: a date string and a time string. The date string specifies the date as a four-digit year followed by a two-digit month followed by a two-digit day. The time string specifies the time as a four-digit hour followed by a two-digit minute followed by a two-digit second.
For example, to insert the current date in a sheet called “Blog Section,” you would use the following code:
=date(“d/m/yyyy”, “hh:mm:ss”)
How to use the TODAY function in Google Sheets
Today’s date in Google Sheets is a great way to keep track of your work schedule, upcoming events, and other important dates. When you type TODAY in a cell, Google Sheets will automatically fill in the current date and time.
You can use TODAY to find out what day of the week a particular date falls on, or to see what’s coming up next. For example, if you want to know what day of the week the 2nd of July falls on, you can type TODAY(2/7/2018) into a cell and Google Sheets will return the answer: Friday.
You can also use TODAY to find out what time of day a particular date falls into. For example, if you want to know what time the 8pm TV show on ABC airs, you can type TODAY(8/4/2018) into a cell and Google Sheets will return the answer: 8:00pm.
You can also use TODAY to find out the current time in different time zones. For example, if you’re traveling and need to know the local time in a different time zone, you can type TODAY(3/2/2018) into a cell and Google Sheets will return the answer: 10:00am.
You can use TODAY to find out the current date and time in other countries. For example, if you want to know the local date and time in Germany, you can type
How to use the NOW function in Google Sheets
If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to add a date to a column in Google Sheets, the NOW function is perfect for you! Just type in the date you want to add, and the NOW function will do the rest.
For example, if you wanted to add the date August 10, 2017, to the “Date” column in your spreadsheet, you could type in “NOW August 10, 2017” and hit enter. The NOW function will take the current date and paste it into the “Date” column, replacing August 10, 2017 with the current date.
If you want to add the date in a different column, or change the format of the date, you can use the NOW function the same way. Just type in the date you want to add, and the NOW function will take the current date and paste it into the column you want.
The NOW function is a great way to add dates to your spreadsheet quickly and easily. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to reach out to us on our Google Sheets support page.
