Automatic Saved Date

[tommy20]

This sounds awfully basic, but for the life of me, I can't figure out
how to do it.

I would like the date at the top of my spreadsheet to reflect the last
save date for the file. Isn't there a function that will handle this?

Hi Tommy,
Well it really would not be that meaningful, as Excel saves the file practically
all the time. You would have to use a macro.

ActiveSheet.PageSetup.RightHeader = "Saved date " _
& FileDateTime(ActiveWorkbook.FullName)---

The spreadsheet I need it for is only updated every couple of weeks,
and I manually change the release date. I was hoping that Excel could
do it for me, as I often forget.

I guess it's time to re-learn macro's, as I haven't used one in years.

Thanks!
