Yes, that's the point with the NOW()  function. It's usually used for
calculating time, for instance how long ago a certain date was, for
instance =NOW()-A1, which you then format to whatever format you like. With
no formatting you get it in days.

That's correct and intended.

I tried looking for a static version of NOW() or playing with iterations

Yes, I actually do that in a Google Spreadsheet, but it can be done in all
spreadsheets that support macros or scripts, I think.

It's probably because there is no cell function for that. You have to
create your own.

As far as usability is concerned, a STATICNOW() function seems much more

It depends on what you want to do. See above. I find both useful, but in
different situations.

I'll experiment a bit with a macro for this. I'm back when done, if nobody
beats me to it.
