TODAY Formula Syntax

=TODAY()

Example Use Case

Retrieving the current date that updates when the workbook recalculates

Understanding the TODAY Formula

The TODAY function in Excel returns the current date as a serial number that updates when the workbook recalculates. It's a dynamic date tool for real-time tracking—like showing current dates in reports or calculating days from the present.

TODAY() returns the current date (e.g., 3/30/2025). It takes no arguments, providing a continuously updating date when calculation is set to automatic—perfect for dated reports or time-sensitive calculations.

Why Use TODAY?

TODAY captures the current date—think report headers or deadline tracking. Its automatic updating ensures date-based calculations stay current, making it essential for dashboards, aging reports, or any feature requiring awareness of the present day.
