Just because in a spreadsheet EVERYTHING is a field and there are so many
values you can recall that it's impossible to list them in a contextual
menu.

As reported you may insert them easily in heading or bottom of printing
area, where makes more sense to have such common fields as the current date.

As has already been noted, you can add date and time to the header or
footer at Format | Page... | Header (or Footer) | Edit... .

If you want to put the date into a cell, use the formula
=TODAY()
- which returns the current date. You can format the cell to display the
date in your chosen format, of course.

Alternatively,
=NOW()
 returns the current date and time.

I trust this helps.

You can also double-click to edit the cell, then R-click on it and 
select 'Insert Fields...', which offers a small submenu of Date, Sheet 
Name, and Title. Not that I've found a way of then specifying the date 
format :-{


Is there any (good) reason Calc doesn't have the same "Insert|Field" 
menu as Writer? I do dislike inconsistencies like this.

[libreoffice-users] Date field in a spreadsheet

2016-07-27 Thread william drescher 

I have version Version: 5.0.5.2

In writer I can insert a field that shows the current date 
whenever the document is opened.  I can't figure out how to do 
that in a spreadsheet.

Help please.
