Solution

To display the current date and time in the format "MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM AM/PM" in MS Excel, you would use the combination of the NOW() and TEXT() functions. Here are the steps:

  1. First, you need to get the current date and time. You can do this by using the NOW() function. In a cell, type =NOW(). This will return the current date and time.

  2. Next, you need to format this date and time in the desired format. You can do this by using the TEXT() function. The TEXT() function takes two arguments: the value you want to format, and the format you want to use.

  3. In this case, you want to format the value returned by the NOW() function. So, you would nest the NOW() function inside the TEXT() function. The format you want to use is "MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM AM/PM". So, you would type this format as the second argument to the TEXT() function.

  4. Putting it all together, you would type =TEXT(NOW(), "MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM AM/PM") in a cell. This will display the current date and time in the format "MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM AM/PM".

  5. Press Enter to get the result.

Please note that the format "HH:MM AM/PM" will display the hours in 12-hour format. If you want to display the hours in 24-hour format, you should use "HH:MM".
