Time with the push of one button

[Dale G]

Hi all, just wondering if it is possible to enter the time in a cell with
only pushing one button. I know I can use ctrl+shift+: to enter the time, but
someone told me there is a way to enter the time with only 1 button.

Sub NOWTIME()
ActiveCell.Value = Format(Now(), "h:mm:ss AM/PM")
End Sub

Assign to a button on your toolbar.

I'm using Vista, & office 2007. I don't know where the toolbar is for excel.
I see internet explorer has a toolbar, is that it? I use, Custom h:mm;@ or
Time 13:30.
could you please assist me with the location of the toolbar and setup for
use in excel 2007.

I'll have to turn you over to one of the people who use Excel 2007.

Someone will jump in to lead you to a method of adding a button to the QAT

Is it possible to Format a column, let's say D, to enter the current time by
selecting a cell in D, then pushing enter?

Not quite.

You could enter a value by selecting (with the arrow keys or by the mouse) a
cell.

You could enter a value by making a change (F2, enter is enough) to that cell.

You could enter a value by rightclicking or doubleclicking on that cell.

But if you just want to enter the time in a cell, hit:
ctrl-:
(control shift semicolon)

I think it's the easiest.
