Topics/Date Functions

TODAY Function

Freebeginner 15 min4 tasks0/60 pts

TODAY returns the current date and recalculates every time the workbook opens, so it is ideal for "days since", "days until" and age calculations. It takes no arguments, but the parentheses are required.

Syntax

TODAY()

Example: =TODAY()-B2 is the number of days since the date in B2.

Common mistakes

Typing TODAY without the ().
Using TODAY() in records that must stay fixed: the value changes every day.

DATE Function DATEDIF Function
