Hi all,

I am experiencing a weird issue with a web-embedded excel sheet. The excel document has been uploaded to Onedrive and embedded to the public accessible html document.

A copy of the site can be accessed via: https://iamgeouk.github.io/hitchhiker.github.io/test.html

The excel sheet generates the current time using the formula
Excel Formula:
=NOW()-TODAY()
.
Now this time is correct for my current time zone GMT. GMT time zone is also set on my onedrive account.

The website seems to generate the correct time when accessed via a PC web browser (e.g. 20:00)... HOWEVER when the same link is accessed via any mobile device browser e.g. safari, chrome etc the current time is displayed as an hour earlier (e.g. 19:00)? The same issue occurs on both apple and android devices.

Any suggestions?

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Did you ever find an Answer to this issue? I'm having a simular problem with the now() function.
