I followed the link and attempted to complete the instructions. I didn’t know that service was there. Well it isn’t they are on my Mac. I’m wondering if it depends on the version of macOS one has. I’m using Mojave. Here are the instructions from that site.
To enable this service open System Preferences. Select the keyboard option, and then “Keyboard Shortcuts” from the tab options. Within the left hand options select “Services”. Within the list that appears in the right hand box select “Long Date”, “Long Date & Time”, “Short Date”, “Short Date & Time” or “Time”. You can add and remove as many as you want. When you select the options they will appear in [App] > Services menu, if the application supports the function.
