 Here, two functions for your working sheet:

1. =TEXT(NOW())

=TEXT(NOW()) is a function of google spreadsheet which allows you to shows the current data and time in your spreadsheet. A great function to keep the record of your work.

The best part of this function is, you can set your own format of date and time as you want to see.

Let me show you the plenty of date and time formats and see how you can use it:

• Try the format current year, month and day, =TEXT( NOW() ; “yyyy-M-d” ) returns 2018-01-22

• Try the format current time with seconds,=TEXT( NOW() ; “HH:mm:ss” ) returns 14:28:59

• Try the format current day of the week and the number of the week in a month, =TEXT( NOW() ; “yyyy ‘week’ w” ) returns 2018 week 4

• Try the format the current time and time zone, =TEXT( NOW() ; “HH:mm z” ) returns 13:24 GMT+00:00

2. =GoogleClock()

okay, let me tell you the above function of google spreadsheet won’t update automatically. You have to update current spreadsheet to update the date and time, so if you are planning to publish that spreadsheet for web that’s not a good one.

For that purpose i have one more function for you, =GoogleClock(). It will automatically worked live for you. Whenever you see the spreadsheet it will update your date and time.

And moreover it will automatically update within 5 minutes if you published that sheet on web.
