You can use almost any format you like to enter the date. The key to using and viewing dates is the cell format. Right-click on the cel and select cell format. Then you can format the date to look almost any way you like.

You can type the date in and the time in, using slashes to separate the dates and colons to separate the time, like this:

02/05/87

12:15

Using the Ctrl - ; combination, you can put in the current date. Using Ctrl - : you can put in the current time.

You can use the DATE function to construct a date with the year, month and day elements and the TIME function from the different hour, minute and second elements:

=DATE(1938,12,5)

=TIME(3,15,28)
