[mso] Re: Excel - Enter today's date?

Dian

Try this in any cell:

        =TODAY()

You can use this in a conditional format, too, so you don't need to have
a special cell if that's all you want it for.

Subject: [mso] Excel - Enter today's date?


Okay...here's one last one and I'm giving up on this tonight and getting
my butt to bed!<g>

Is there any way...or how would I get it to work with VBA...do have the
current date always appear in a particular cell? 

I'd like one cell on a sheet to display today's date. Well, actually,
what I REALLY want is for conditional formatting to appear if the date
in a column is passed a certain date. So I'm guessing that, if I get one
cell to display the current date, I can set up formatting to make the
date in the other col display in red if the date is => the current
date???

I'm guessing I'll have to figure out how to do this with VBA...but
wondering if there's a way without it, first?

TIA...
