Hi All,

Is it possible to create a formula in excel to return the current date in YYYYMMDD format? If the month or day is only 1 digit, I need the formula to return 2 digits (e.g. 20220103 for January 3, 2022).

Here is the VBScript I would like to add that formula to:

Sub InputCurrentDateZPLP1()
'
' InputCurrentDateZPLP1 Macro
'
lastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Range("F2:F" & lastRow).FormulaR1C1 = "=TODAY()"

End Sub

Thanks in advance!

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
Do you want it as an actual date, or as text?

Ok, how about
Excel Formula:
=TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyymmdd")

Solution
In that case just change A1 to TODAY()
