    Todays Date in Cell

    Hi All,

    Just a quick question, if on a spreadsheet in for example Cel D1 I wanted todays date, and everytime I open that spreadsheet I want D1 to automatically update to that days date, how would I do this?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Regards,

    OB

    You'd need a workbook_open event and say something like:

    Sheets("Sheet1").Range("D1").Value = Today()

    In D1
    =TODAY()
    You might have to format the cell Date dd/mm/yyyy, or to suit, depending on what it was previously formatted, if anything.
