Simple and clean way to show the current date in the worksheet every day in Excel - this is a quick little Excel tutorial that will help make more presentable spreadsheets.

In this tutorial I combine a few simple techniques to make a nice and presentable date that will update every day and I show you how to do this using a function and then how to control the formatting to display the date however you want it to be displayed.

I also include a few formatting tricks not related to the date so that it will look better within the spreadsheet.
