Notes
- Note that
TODAY
is a volatile function and can hurt spreadsheet performance. TODAY
provides the current date with no time component. To create a date with the current time, use NOW.TODAY
will always represent the current date the last time the spreadsheet was recalculated, rather than remaining at the date when it was first entered.
