In Microsoft Excel, the shortcut key used to insert the current date into a cell is Ctrl+; (Control key plus the semicolon key). When you press Ctrl+; on your keyboard while a cell is selected, Excel will automatically insert today’s date in the format set by your system, such as 16/07/2025.

This shortcut is useful when you are entering time-sensitive data like attendance, daily logs, reports, or project tracking. It helps save time by avoiding the need to type the full date manually.
