TIPS for CLICKS: Date and Time STAMP

There are many ways of creating a date stamp or/and time stamp in Excel. You can check them e.g. in these pages:

In most cases - unless you need a time stamp which displays seconds - you can use Excel shortcuts for both date and time:


CTRL+SHIFT+:  (colon) shortcut for your time stamp,

 

and

CTRL+;  (semicolon) shortcut for the date stamp.



These two shortcuts provide STATIC (non-refreshable) stamps; they are not updated whenever 

anything changes in your worksheet.

The NOW() function is OK, but it inserts DYNAMIC (refreshable) stamp, so it requires conversion 

from function to a value format to become static.
