Auto date for Numbers?

Hi! I'm currently working on a table for personal finance and I need a cell to be automatically filled with the current date, as I may enter every day, so that I don't have to do it myself each time. How can I do this? I am currently on version 12.2.

How to fill a Numbers cell automatically with today's date without the date updating automatically In a Numbers spreadsheet to which I add one or more lines almost daily, I have an Order Date column. Each time I add a line, the cell in that column is automatically filled with the date from the line above. (I don't remember how I got this to happen.) But what I really want is for the cell to be automatically filled with the current date and for the date to remain as entered - not to update automatically, as TODAY and NOW are supposed to do. I think this is related to a larger question: how to convert a formula to a value, preferably using only the keyboard.

Numbers invoice that is dated when it is created. Hi I have a numbers template for creating an invoice. It is dated and I would like to use a function so that when I select a new invoice it opens with the date on it. If I use the 'today' function, then the date changes if I open the spreadsheet on a different day. How can I get the date to stay the same as the date that I created the invoice?

Date entry can't be fully "automatic."

But you can quickly date stamp a cell by clicking it once and choosing Table > Insert Current Date from the menu, or typing its keyboard shortcut: control-shift-command-d.
