can you elaborate on how to add the formula, the date is in another cell in date format, also what is "NOW"?

If you pasted that into a cell on your sheet you will see the result

Now() returns the date/time value for the system date.

you should be able to substitute Now() with your cell reference

The & is equivalent to concatenate and easier to spell
